LOVE'S CALENDAR: NOVEMBER by MAX DAUTHENDEY

First Line: THE RAVENS STOLE THE MOONS
Last Line: HER HEART MUST COME HOME AGAIN.
Subject(s): NOVEMBER;

The ravens stole the moons
away from the wall of night;
they have buried them all far down
in the meadow, out of sight.

All shining things they hide
deep in the soil and the sand;
the thievish ravens pried
my beloved's heart from my hand.

Now I must sit in the dark,
bewildered and full of pain;
When the cat's eyes show a spark
her heart must come home again.
