Lyrics Spring Pools - Robert Frost

These pools that, though in forests,
Still reflect
The total sky almost without defect,
And like the flowers beside them,
Chill and shiver,
Will like the flowers beside them
Soon be gone,
And yet not out by any brook or
River,
But up by roots to bring dark foliage
On.
The trees that have it in their pent-
Up buds
To darken nature and be summer
Woods---
Let them think twice before they use
Their powers
To blot out and drink up and sweep
Away
These flowery waters and these
Watery flowers
From snow that melted only
Yesterday.
