Analysis and comments on A Fence by Carl Sandburg

Comment 1 of 1, added on May 12th, 2005 at 7:45 PM.

This poem is about the present, and the future. The author suggests the
fence is installed to protect the house from outsiders today, this was
indicated itially by the word "Now".Though the fence was intended to keep
the outsiders out, however, only death and the rain is sure to cross this
fence in the future. This was suggested by using the word "tommorrow."
