Before the ice is in the pools


Before the ice is in the pools --
Before the skaters go,
Or any check 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?

Written by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
