Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJKJJ LMNOAP| Night covers the pond with its wing | A |
| Under the ringed moon I can make out | B |
| your face swimming among minnows and the small | C |
| echoing stars In the night air | D |
| the surface of the pond is metal | E |
| - | |
| Within your eyes are open They contain | F |
| a memory I recognize as though | G |
| we had been children together Our ponies | H |
| grazed on the hill they were gray | I |
| with white markings Now they graze | J |
| with the dead who wait | K |
| like children under their granite breastplates | J |
| lucid and helpless | J |
| - | |
| The hills are far away They rise up | L |
| blacker than childhood | M |
| What do you think of lying so quietly | N |
| by the water When you look that way I want | O |
| to touch you but do not seeing | A |
| as in another life we were of the same blood | P |
