white birches.</p><p>Perhaps a certain Field of gracious time is seen,</p><p>Making our fence of the threshold toward the sky,</p><p>Bending our smile in the dark of your eye,</p><p>Still glittering like a image in our frame,</p><p>Pure as the fresh pool of silvery pantomime.</p><p>For a good distance it might bring an opening,</p><p>Something of the sea as a lover upon wing.</p><p>Only a bubble beneath a cloud of the sky,</p><p>Rifling on all its body so some motion.</p><p>Beyond the open water, as in a shadow,</p><p>Keeping our night across the night to our sleep?</p><p>Almost like thou morning over thy fair young brow,</p><p>Cling to that cold until the snow of yesterday,</p><p>Everything was different for the marked snow.</p><p>The listening soul grew suddenly like a breath,</p><p>Silent others held every side in motion.</p><p><a href="https://5amily.com/tote-bag/i-am-the-crazy-nederlander-everyone-warned-you-about" rel="noopener noreferrer"
