Six Years Later by Joseph Brodsky
So long had life together been that once
The snow began to fall, it seemed unending;
That, lest the flakes should make her eyelids wince,
I’d shield them with my hand, and they, pretending
Not to believe that cherishing of eyes,
Would beat against my palm like butterflies.

I’d shield them with my hand, and they, pretending

would beat against my palm like butterflies.
