ATMOSPHERE; INSCRIPTION FOR A GARDEN WALL by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: WINDS BLOW THE OPEN GRASSY PLACES BLEAK
Last Line: THE HOURS OF DAYLIGHT GATHER ATMOSPHERE
Subject(s): WALLS;
Inscription for a Garden Wall

Winds blow the open grassy places bleak;
But where this old wall burns a sunny cheek,
They eddy over it too toppling weak
To blow the earth or anything self-clear;
Moisture and color and odor thicken here.
The hours of daylight gather atmosphere.
