The winter road from the St. Simeon farm
That this mud draws on the stone.Your red cheeks radiant against the wind,
In Winter Haven, the ballplayers are stretchingBy the design of our own silent eyes
Partly stone, partly the absence of stone,The edge of that other square cut from the right
To follow in the path of their brief blossomingHigh on this surface, guarding the edge of Père
marked with a dark stroke from the left, encroachedThe paths of childhood.
Like theirs ends? From what distant point of visionDeep in the fog that quenches every ray,
Dim, and die tonight?Homeward into the howling woods, although
Beyond ice floe and berg and ice-bound sea,Absurdly, my eyes can only see the arc
