Jack Frost"famous poet" -- Gabriel SetounThe door was shut, as doors should be, Before you went to bed last night; Yet Jack Frost has got in, you see, And left your window silver white.He must have waited till you slept; And not a single word he spoke, But pencilled o'er the panes and crept Away again before you woke.And now you cannot see the hillsNor fields that stretch beyond the lane; But there are fairer things than these His fingers traced on every pane.
Rocks and castles towering high; Hills and dales, and streams and fields; And knights in armor riding by, With nodding plumes and shining shields.And here are little boats, and there Big ships with sails spread to the breeze; And yonder, palm trees waving fair On islands set in silver seas,And butterflies with gauzy wings; And herds of cows and flocks of sheep; And fruit and flowers and all the things You see when you are sound asleep.For, creeping softly underneath The door when all the lights are out, Jack Frost takes every breath you breathe, And knows the things you think about.He paints them on the window-pane In fairy lines with frozen steam; And when you wake you see again The lovely things you saw in dream.(© by owner. provided at no charge for educational purposes)

Time Passes
by Joy Ladin
Time too is afraid of passing, is riddled with holes through which time feels itself leaking. Time sweats in the middle of the night when all the other dimensions are sleeping. Time has lost every picture of itself as a child. Now time is old, leathery and slow. Can’t sneak up on anyone anymore, Can’t hide in the grass, can't run, cant catch. Cant figure out how not to trample what it means to bless.

The Wild Swans at Coole
by William Butler Yeats
 
The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry, Under the October twilight the water Mirrors a still sky; Upon the brimming water among the stones Are nine-and-fifty swans.The nineteenth autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw, before I had well finished, All suddenly mount And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings.
I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And now my heart is sore. All's changed since I, hearing at twilight, The first time on this shore, The bell-beat of their wings above my head, Trod with a lighter tread.
Unwearied still, lover by lover, They paddle in the cold Companionable streams or climb the air; Their hearts have not grown old; Passion or conquest, wander where they will, Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water, Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lake's edge or pool Delight men's eyes when I awake some day To find they have flown away?
