The Dance

William Carlos Williams

when the snowfall falls the flakes spin upon the long axis

that concerns them generally intimately

two in addition to 2 to brand a dance

the heed dances amongst itself,

taking you lot past times the hand,

your lover follows

there are e'er two,

yourself in addition to the other,

the indicate of your shoe setting the pace,

if you lot pause away in addition to move

the trip the lite fantastic toe is over

Breathlessly you lot volition conduct maintain

another partner

better or worse who volition buy the farm along

at your side, at your stops

whirls in addition to glides until he besides

leaves off

on his agency downwardly every bit if

there were unopen to other direction

gayer, to a greater extent than carefree

spinning appear upward to appear upward but e'er downwardly

with each other secure

only inward each other’s arms

but exclusively the trip the lite fantastic toe is sure!

make it your own.

Who tin say what is to come upward of it?

in the woods of your

own nature any

twig interposes, in addition to bare twigs

have an actuality of their own

this flurry of the tempest

that holds us,

plays amongst us in addition to discards us

dancing, dancing every bit may move credible.
