Is there a more elegant sulution to separate stanzas than putting some non-intrusive punctuation marks in the empty lines between? Anyway, there it is, as best as I could deliver given my current lack of poetic spirit:

> I'm going for a walk —

> I have nothing better to do.

> So I cross the River's murky banks

> And stroke her waters with silent eyes.

> -

> I can't cease to look for —

> Among people after the rain —

> Your nosegay of wet daffodils and

> Dream of your hand lingering in mine

> -

> Fogs stand upon the woods,

> Pillars for clouds wrung out of rain.

> Though not quite still, like the hour's hand

> Roving feet of an eternal bard.

> -

> I remember the last —

> Akin to those droplets and clouds —

> Laughter–filled escapes from the warm skies;

> Summer bygone's joyful–wistful walk.

> -

> I stop to look awhile.

> I tune the time to lapsing sun

> Dying, put against the western wall.

> The tiniest shade eclipses the land.
