Robert Frost - Never Again Would Bird's Song Be The Same

He would declare and could himself believe
That the birds there in all the garden round
From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
Had added to their own an oversound,
Her tone of meaning but without the words.
Admittedly an eloquence so soft
Could only have had an influence on birds
When call or laughter carried it aloft.
Be that as may be, she was in their song.
Moreover her voice upon their voices crossed
Had now persisted in the woods so long
That probably it never would be lost.
Never again would birds' song be the same.
And to do that to birds was why she came.

This poem coul dbe seen as either way, wether it is praising women for the elegance that we bring to the world, for example "Eve" inspired the birds to sing a more beautiful and eloquent song. Robert Frost said" and never would the song be the same", not the world in general. But then you could take negative, especially if you are very custom to the story of eve eating the apple. Then subconsciously you would gain a negative aspect because of previous knowlege. How ever, another person did make a really good point that his wife just died.It would make sense for him to write something praising women and their beauty, more than blaming "Eve" for sin. Whatever.
