Comment 1 of 51, added on October 13th, 2004 at 12:58 AM.

Robert Frost shows a sense of childhood fear throughout this poem. He
talks of the lonely house, the bats at night, and the grave stones outside.
Although he has this childhood fear though, he recognizes that although
the two ghosts are there, they are both there together and they have a
strong bond between each other. This is recognized in the last 2 lines of
the poem. Frost has a bit of a spooky tone when he first begins the poem
in the first 2 stanzas when he is describing the house, but a realization
of the two mute strangers is soon found and gives a small sense of
relaxation. This poem shows a sense that even those whos names are
forgotten, the moss covered stones have the names gone, can still have an
everlasting bond between each other if they really want to.
