Spring Pools Songtext
von Robert Frost

These pools, the thaw in forests, still reflect
The total sky almost without defect
And like the flowers beside them chill and shiver
Will like the flowers beside them soon be gone
And yet not out by any brook or river
But up by roots to bring dark foliage on The trees that have it in their pent-up buds
To darken nature and be summer woods
Let them think twice before they use their powers
To blot out and drink up and sweep away
These flowery waters and these watery flowers
From snow that melted only yesterday
