1. Now Close the Window
Now close the window and hush all the fields:
If the tree must, let them silently toss,
No bird is singing now, and if there is,
Be it my lost,
It will be long ere the marshes resume,
It will be long ere the earliest bird:
So close the windows and not hear the wind,
But she all wind- stirred.
- ROBERT FROST
2. A Patch of Old Snow
There' s a patch of old snow in the corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow- away paper in the rain
Had brought to rest.
It is specked with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I' ve forgotten --
If I never read it,
- ROBERT FROST
3. A Time to Talk
When a friend calls me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don' t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven' t hoed,
And shout from where I am, 'What is it'
No, not as there is a time talk,
I thurst my hoe in the mellow fround,
Blade- end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
- ROBERT FROST
4. Fire and Ice
Some says the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice,
From what I' ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great And would suffice.
- ROBERT FROST
5. Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature' s first green is old,
Her herdest hue to hold,
Her early leaf' s a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to stay
Nothing gold can stay.
- ROBERT FROST
