37 <br /> <br />Before the ice is in the pools— <br />Before the skaters go, <br />Or any check at nightfall <br />Is tarnished by the snow— <br /> <br />Before the fields have finished, <br />Before the Christmas tree, <br />Wonder upon wonder <br />Will arrive to me! <br /> <br />What we touch the hems of <br />On a summer's day— <br />What is only walking <br />Just a bridge away— <br /> <br />That which sings so—speaks so— <br />When there's no one here— <br />Will the frock I wept in <br />Answer me to wear?<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-the-ice-is-in-the-pools/
