White Fields - James Stephens
In the winter time we go,
Walking in the fields of snow;
Where there is no grass at all:
Where the top of every wall,
Every fence and every tree,
Is as white as white can be,
Pointing out the way we came,
Everyone one of them the same----

All across the fields there be
Prints in silvery filigree;
And our mothers always know,
By our footprints in the snow,
Where the children go.
