We had to learn this poem in junior high school. Of course, its meaning
back then was rather obscured by the rote of forced memorization.
Rereading it in my later years, I realize how hauntingly beautiful this
poem truly is.

This is one of his most beautiful poem, along with Nature. How it moves my
heart as i remember my grandchildren and my children.
