it is 时间 before Before the ice is in the pools

Before the ice is in the pools  

Before the ice is in the pools --
Before the skaters go

Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow --
Before the fields have finished

Before the Christmas tree

Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!
What we touch the hems of
On a summer's day --
What is only walking
Just a bridge away --
That which sings so -- speaks so --
When there's no one here --
Will the frock I wept in
Answer me to wear?
