First Line: Over the broad, the shallow, rapid stream
Last Line: And pomp of antlers --
Subject(s): Winter
OVER the broad, the shallow, rapid stream,
The Alder, a vast hollow Trunk, and ribbed --
All mossy green with mosses manifold,
And ferns still waving in the river-breeze
Sent out, like fingers, five projecting trunks --
The shortest twice 6 (?) of a tall man's strides. --
One curving upward in its middle growth
Rose straight with grove of twigs -- a pollard tree: --
The rest more backward, graddual in descent --
One in the brook and one befoamed its waters:
One ran along the bank in the elk-like head
And pomp of antlers --
