How At Once

Title:     How At Once
Author: Edward Thomas [More Titles by Thomas]

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.

[The end]
Edward Thomas's poem: How At Once
