Eerily reminiscent of a couple of lines from an early draft of a poem by Wordsworth about a puddle:
I've measured it from side to side
'Tis three feet long and two feet wide.

Thanks, John! I didn't remember the Wordsworth lines.

I'm certain you recognized the opening lines to Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." I was remiss in not crediting Frost but assumed all would be familiar with the lines.
