Before the ice is in the pools

Before the ice is in the pools,

   Before the skaters go,

Or any cheek at nightfall

   Is tarnished by the snow,

Before the fields have finished,

   Before the Christmas tree,

Wonder upon wonder

   Will arrive to me!

What we touch the hems of

   On a summer’s day;

What is only walking

   Just a bridge away;

That which sings so, speaks so,

   When there’s no one here, —

Will the frock I wept in

   Answer me to wear?
