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.
