PUSSY-WILLOW TIME by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THAT EVERY FOOTPRINT'S NOW A POOL
Last Line: AND UNBORN VIOLETS FIRST ARE THOUGHT OF.
Subject(s): PUSSY WILLOWS;

That every footprint's now a pool,
And every rut a river cool,
Are things light vernal hearts make nought of;
For mud time's pussy-willow time
When tender-hearted bluebirds chime,
And unborn violets first are thought of.
