Question

The Skater of Ghost Lake
by William Rose Benet

Cecily only--yes it is she!

Stealing to Ghost Lake, tree after tree,

Kneeling in snow by the still lake side,

Rising with feet winged, gleaming, to glide.

Dust of the ice swirls. Here is his hand.

Brilliant his eyes burn. Now, as was planned,

Arm across arm twined, laced to his side,

Out on the dark lake lightly they glide.

Dance of the dim moon, a rhythmical reel,

A swaying, a swift tune--skurr of the steel;

Moon for a candle, maid for a mate,

Jeremy Randall skates, skates late.
