pocket me field

 pocket me a field


pocket me a field, with frost in a corner,

mole hills along one side

of day’s second quarter;

and here bid me abide

with days in my eyes and

the joys of winter, cold in surmise;

and i will surprise a cock pheasant

in rasp and in running,

the leaves all a flitter, 

so very pleasant with frost all a glitter: 

then turn me around and around

from the castle to the sea,

from the rivers to the sky

and then ask this of me,

was there ever such a day

as this set before thee?

go on, ask me again, 

was there ever such a day

as this set before thee?
