OUT through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.
The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.
And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question ‘Whither?’
Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?
i need to answer the following question..
who is the speaker
where is the speaker situated
what is the poem mean
what elements has the poet used
Can you help me analyze this poem by robert frost.?
The feel of the poem is of melancholia at the passing of the season as evidenced in the images of dead leaves, missing plants and bare trees.
In the final verse ( Not yours!) he asks if we can ever be satisfied or happy accepting reason rather than emotion for making the decision to end a relationship. He compares it to accepting the end of summer with all it's joys and replacing it with the cold desolation of winter and the emptiness of the landscape and dearth of flowers to gladden the heart.
The reluctance is the desire not to move on and accept that love is, indeed, gone.
I hope this helps.
Reply:I don't know. That fifth stanza must have been typed by someone with really poor skills.
Since class is probably over by now...
I need to answer the following questions:
Who is the speaker? The Lover
Where is the speaker situated? Home
What does the poem mean? Life and Love don't Last
What elements have the poet used? Rhyme, meter and metaphor.
