SUMMERING, by ROBERT FROST Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I would arise and in a dream go on Last Line: I could not slumber if the wains were out! Subject(s): Summer | |||
I would arise and in a dream go on -- Not very far, not very far -- and then Lie down amid the sunny grass again, And fall asleep till night-time or next dawn. In sleepy self-sufficiency I'd turn; I'd seek new comfort and be hard to please -- Far in a meadow by an isle of trees, All summer long amid the grass and fern. Forests would have to be all round about, And the mead silent, and the grasses deep, Else I might not gain such a tireless sleep! I could not slumber if the wains were out! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
