TO THE POET IN AUTUMN, by                    
First Line: Now be the sharpened cold
Last Line: And the dreamy blood; be winter!


Now be the sharpened cold
That startles drowsy ground:
With words alert and bold,
Inflict a frosty wound!

Come freeze our breath to stone,
O tingling mind, and splinter
The sleep of the stolid bone
And the dreamy blood; be Winter!
