Spring Pools

Poem: Spring Pools Author: 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.
