Old man at the end of the lane Stops a bit in his walk, Feels a little lame, Catches breath, Turns 'round and 'round To see and try to see.
Can't find his memory for the trees.
Frost's woods march on ahead; Deep woods follow and surround, Blot sun and moon and city lights. Whispers of other-wheres and other-whens Sough softly, speaking of forgotten glens Now nearly lost to drums of ears and eye-owned lens; The nostrils' senses feathered, hold only memories.
A lonely venture, Being out on woodland walks In growing dimness, Plodding slow uncertain paths That wander aimlessly away From moving water.
