    Robert Frost, \u201cThe Wood Pile\u201d (pages 820-821)<\/span>
    <\/span><\/div>\n
    The Wood-Pile
    \nOut walking in the frozen swamp one grey day,
    \nI paused and said, \u201cI will turn back from here.
    \nNo, I will go on farther\u2014and we shall see.\u201d
    \n5 The hard snow held me, save where now and then
    \nOne foot went through. The view was all in lines
    \nStraight up and down of tall slim trees
    \nToo much alike to mark or name a place by
    \nSo as to say for certain I was here
    \nOr somewhere else: I was just far from home.
    \n10 A small bird flew before me. He was careful
    \nTo put a tree between us when he lighted,
    \nAnd say no word to tell me who he was
    \nWho was so foolish as to think what he thought.
    \nHe thought that I was after him for a feather\u2014
    \n15 The white one in his tail; like one who takes
    \nEverything said as personal to himself.
    \nOne flight out sideways would have undeceived him.
    \nAnd then there was a pile of wood for which
    \nI forgot him and let his little fear
    \n20 Carry him off the way I might have gone,
    \nWithout so much as wishing him good-night.
    \nHe went behind it to make his last stand.
    \nIt was a cord of maple, cut and split
    \nAnd piled\u2014and measured, four by four by eight.
    \n25 And not another like it could I see.
    \nNo runner tracks in this year\u2019s snow looped near it.
    \n30 And it was older sure than this year\u2019s cutting,
    \nOr even last year\u2019s or the year\u2019s before.
    \nThe wood was grey and the bark warping off it
    \nAnd the pile somewhat sunken. Clematis
    \nHad wound strings round and round it like a bundle.
    \nWhat held it though on one side was a tree
    \nStill growing, and on one a stake and prop,
    \nThese latter about to fall. I thought that only
    \n35 Someone who lived in turning to fresh tasks
    \nCould so forget his handiwork on which
    \nHe spent himself, the labour of his axe,
    \nAnd leave it there far from a useful fireplace
    \n40 To warm the frozen swamps as best it could
    \nWith the slow smokeless burning of decay.
    \n[1914]
