Do you know this poem?

The last line of the poem is "your name and your name and your name." I cannot remember the title or author's name. The poem is about a man who goes out fishing (I believe) and is narrated by a loved one, presumably his wife but that isn't explicit. He leaves to do something outdoors, and I think I remember it being around a pond. You get the sense it is late autumn/early winter, and when the man doesn't come back the narrator and someone else go out looking for him. This is where I recall it being around a pond, and I think there is a dog with the narrator. The last line describes how it is getting bleak outside, the narrator cannot find the man, presumably some accident has occurred, and they are calling for him, saying something like "making the only sound as we call your name, and your name, and your name."
