And underfoot snow melted down to ice,
And melting further in the wind to mud.

And standing at our leisure till the day broke,
Said some of the best things we ever said.

Because it didn't do a thing but split
A star in two or three the way you split
A globule of quicksilver in your hand
With one stroke of your finger in the middle.

And ought to do some good if splitting stars
