First Line: In the deep blue shadows
Last Line: That jumped in the pool
Subject(s): Animals;bells;frogs
In the deep blue shadows
Of the forest --
Under the silver rays of the moon --
A tinkling sound
Like the faint ringing
Of some far-off temple bell:
And over the silver surface
Of the quiet water --
Tiny wavelets widening
Like a vagrant thought
On some half-awakened brain --
Fading farther and farther
(And farther)
Into the inscrutable distance. . . .
Come away, you fool!
It was only a bullfrog
That jumped in the pool.
