THE PASTURE by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: I'M GOING OUT TO CLEAN THE PASTURE SPRING
Last Line: I SHA'N'T BE GONE LONG. - YOU COME TOO.
Subject(s): ANIMALS; COUNTRY LIFE;
I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be long. - You come too.

I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long. - You come too.
