QUESTIONING FACES by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THE WINTER OWL BANKED JUST IN TIME TO PASS
Last Line: To glassed-in children at the window sill
Subject(s): OWLS;
The winter owl banked just in time to pass
And save herself from breaking window glass.
And her wings straining suddenly spread
Caught color from the last of evening red
In a display of underdown and quill
To glassed-in children at the windowsill.
