Wide as the sky Time spreads his hand	A
And blindly over us there blows	B
A swarm of years that fill the land	A
Then fade and are as fallen snows	B
	-
Behold the flakes rush thick and fast	C
Or are they years that come between	D
When peering back into the past	C
I search the legendary scene	D
	-
Nay Marshaled down the open coast	E
Fearless of that low rampart's frown	F
The winter's white winged footless host	E
Beleaguers ancient Saybrook town	F
	-
And when the settlers wake they stare	G
On woods half buried white and green	D
A smothered world an empty air	G
Never had such deep drifts been seen	D
	-
But Snow lies light upon my heart	H
An thou said merry Jonathan Rudd	I
Wilt wed me winter shall depart	H
And love like spring for us shall bud	I
	-
Nay how said Mary may that be	J
No minister nor magistrate	K
Is here to join us solemnly	J
And snow banks bar us every gate	K
	-
Winthrop at Pequot Harbor lies	L
He laughed And with the morrow's sun	M
He faced the deputy's dark eyes	L
How soon sir may the rite be done	M
	-
At Saybrook There the power's not mine	N
Said he But at the brook we'll meet	O
That ripples down the boundary line	N
There you may wed and Heaven shall see't	J
	-
Forth went next day the bridal train	P
Through vistas dreamy with gray light	Q
The waiting woods the open plain	P
Arrayed in consecrated white	Q
	-
Received and ushered them along	R
The very beasts before them fled	S
Charmed by the spell of inward song	R
These lovers' hearts around them spread	S
	-
Four men with netted foot gear shod	T
Bore the maid's carrying chair aloft	U
She swayed above as roses nod	T
On the lithe stem their bloom weight soft	V
	-
At last beside the brook they stood	W
With Winthrop and his followers	X
The maid in flake embroidered hood	W
The magistrate well cloaked in furs	X
	-
That parting showed a glimpse beneath	Y
Of ample throat encircling ruff	Z
As white as some wind gathered wreath	Y
Of snow quilled into plait and puff	Z
	-
A few grave words a question asked	A2
Eyelids that with the answer fell	B2
Like falling petals form that tasked	A2
Brief time and so was wrought the spell	B2
	-
Then Brooklet Winthrop smiled and said	S
Frost's finger on thy lip makes dumb	C2
The voice wherewith thou shouldst have sped	S
These lovers on their way But come	C2
	-
Henceforth forever be thou known	D2
By memory of this day's fair bride	E2
So shall thy slender music's moan	D2
Sweeter into the ocean glide	E2
	-
Then laughed they all and sudden beams	F2
Of sunshine quivered through the sky	G2
Below the ice the unheard stream's	F2
Clear heart thrilled on in ecstasy	F2
	-
And lo a visionary blush	H2
Stole warmly o'er the voiceless wild	I2
And in her rapt and wintry hush	H2
The lonely face of Nature smiled	I2
	-
Ah Time what wilt thou Vanished quite	Q
Is all that tender vision now	J2
And like lost snow flakes in the night	Q
Mute are the lovers as their vow	J2
	-
And O thou little careless brook	K2
Hast thou thy tender trust forgot	L2
Her modest memory forsook	K2
Whose name known once thou utterest not	L2
	-
Spring wakes the rill's blithe minstrelsy	F2
In willow bough or alder bush	M2
Birds sing o'er golden filigree	F2
Of pebbles 'neath the flood's clear gush	H2
	-
But none can tell us of that name	N2
More than the Mary Men still say	F2
Bride Brook in honor of her fame	N2
But all the rest has passed away	F2
