Across a dazzling field of snow,
And there is nothing in me that resists.
Once it would not be so....”

Until, with a falter,
A flicker soon gone
Their pace starts to alter....”

And to think is to be dumb,
And barren of a word to drop
That to a milder shore might come
And, years ahead, erect a crop.”
