(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Ruth Herschberger

I swam the Huron of love， and am not ashamed，

It was many saw me do it， scoffing¹， scoffing，

They said it was foolish， winter and all，

But I dove in， greaselike， and swam，

And came up where Erie verges².

I would say for the expenditure³ of love，

And the atrophy⁴ of longing⁵， there is no cure

So swift， so sleek⁶， so fine， so draining

As a swim through the Huron in the wintertime.
