Analysis and comments on Leaves Compared With Flowers by Robert Frost

Comment 5 of 5, added on October 5th, 2009 at 8:03 PM.

I own a copy of a book titled The Poetry of Robert Frost and in the book,
this poem is published with the word "bark." I believe "so may it's bar, so
may its wood" as it is shown on the internet on several websites, is just a
typo.

The 'authoritative' collected poems of Robert Frost reads "Leaves and bark,
leaves and bark"--the textual notes suggest no other variations on that
line.

My opinion is that this was a typo that has been copied and pasted into
several web sites.

"Leaves and bar, leaves and bark" - what does "bar" mean?

Insight compared with understanding.
