So, one of the downsides of having all of these books on my Nook is that I can't just easily go re-read the poems/excerpts/etc. that start each chapter. I'm a sucker for the author "tying" the title of the book into the book itself. With Reaper's Gale in particular, I loved the poem the referenced "reaper's gale." There may have even been two such poems.

Can anyone copy it/them here for me? Or lead me to the correct chapter? I've been trying to find it on the Wiki, etc.

Thank you.

Quote

Crawl down sun this is not your time
Black waves slide under the sheathed moon
upon the shore a silent storm a will untamed
heaves up from the red-skirled foam
Scud to your mountain nests you iron clouds
to leave the sea its dancing refuse of stars
on this host of salty midnight tides
Gather drawn and swell tight your tempest
lift like scaled heads from the blind depths
all your effulgent might in restless roving eyes
Reel back you tottering forests this night
the black waves crash on the black shore
to steal the flesh from your bony roots
deaths comes, shouldering aside in cold legion
in a marching wind this dread this blood
this reaper's gale

The Coming Storm
Reffer

At the start of Chapter 15.

Edit: I didn't see another one, by the way.

Thanks so much. Greatly appreciated.

I love how it references both Midnight Tides and Reaper's Gale. Completely bad ass.
