What is The Skater of Ghost Lake about?

Jeremy Randall is skating on the ice-covered Ghost Lake. Cecily arrives and they skate together. They are frightened by a moth owl and skate onto thin ice. The ice cracks and they fall in (and presumably drown). The poem is noted for its vivid language and use of poetry devices (i.e. onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, figures of speech, rhyme, etc.) The meter seems to imitate a skating rhythm.
