Four of them ventured down the sloping shore,
\nLured by meltpools blue as cloudless skies:
\nSwelling buds of ash and curly willow
\nScented the air like clover. One by one
\nThey probed the ice and boldly dreamed aloud <\/p>\n
Of golden mornings promising sunwarmed docks,
\nOf heavy carp with scales like minted coins:
\nThe youngest bent to dip the pail that he’d brought
\nInto the lake, imagining a minnow. <\/p>\n
The Dragon who dwells in every frozen lake
\nHeard the ice crack, made a cunning lunge
\nAnd dragged the boy down, failing, choking, blind,
\nInto the depths where dreams and Summers end. <\/p>\n
The Garrison Captain and his diving-team
\nSearched all afternoon and all next morning
\nBut could not find the boy, recovering
\nOnly the pail, upended, emptying Dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
