THE PASTURE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
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.
