Late for the year, late for the loving, late for the realization. This
poem typically weaves natural and experiential themes into another level of
meaning. The grand metaphor. Frost at his best.

On the contrary, I find this a sad love poem. All of the lonliness and
dreariness of this poem guides me to think of him walking every morning to
visit the grave of a loved one.

How poignant is it possible to be. Frost tears my heart out with feelings I
have yet to feel. Lesley is within us all I think.

A picture description of nature "Smooth-laid like thatch with the heavy
dew", "the whir of sober birds"- if the birds were to hear this they'd
blush. "Up from the tangle of withered weeds Is sadder than any words" -
the lonliness. "Disturbed, I doubt not, by my thought, Comes softly
rattling down" - softness of Frost's feelings. "By picking the faded blue
Of the last remaining aster flower To carry again to you." With all the
loneliness, and sadness you can love....nature seems so solitary but lovers
of nature will never be lonely. Mr. Frost is a true lover at the point of
all perceptions!
