Robert Frost - A Late Walk

When I go up through the mowing field,
The headless aftermath,
Smooth-laid like thatch with the heavy dew,
Half closes the garden path.

And when I come to the garden ground,
The whir of sober birds
Up from the tangle of withered weeds
Is sadder than any words

A tree beside the wall stands bare,
But a leaf that lingered brown,
Disturbed, I doubt not, by my thought,
Comes softly rattling down.

I end not far from my going forth
By picking the faded blue
Of the last remaining aster flower
To carry again to you.

A Late Walk

I think this poem might be talking about a love that frost had that died. and he is walking to her grave every morning... so sad ): but great writing

truly a masterpiece..though the setting of the poem is in winter..a dark time, in the end frost leaves it at a romantic note..great use of metaphors
