From the Paper:

"He also shows this ability to see the best in something that could be taken negatively in "Going for Water." The well by the door was empty. It was night, and cold. Many people might have complained that they shouldn't have to go until morning, that it was too cold, or too dark at night, or that someone else should have done the chore earlier. Instead, Frost embraces the mundane chore as an opportunity. He even talks someone into accompanying him. Although they have a wonderful shared experience, Frost is joyful before the experience of the clear sound of water on cool night. He describes how they travel to the creek: "We ran as if to meet the moon" -- as if every step he took out his door into nature contained the potential for a small miracle."
