Dare I tread, <br />On this Pond, <br />For fear of being eaten, <br />By a stickleback, <br />Or a watchful toad, <br />Shall I keep my words unopened, <br />And reach the bank, <br />And hide in the reeds, <br />Waiting for Spring?<br /><br />Anthony Dover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pond-skater/
