How at Once + 

How at once should I know, + 

When stretched in the harvest blue + 

I saw the swift’s black bow, + 

That I would not have that view + 

Another day + 

Until next May + 

Again it is due? + 

The same year after year⁠— + 

But with the swift alone. + 

With other things I but fear + 

That they will be over and done + 

Suddenly + 

And I only see + 

Them to know them gone. + 
