This sudden snow:

            immediately

the prairie is!

Those houses are:

            dark

under roofs of snow -

That hill up to the cloud is:

            markt

            by snow creeks down to town -

This footpath is:

            a bare line

across white field -

            This woman appears

            thru drift of snow:

a red coat.
