Walls
| He is all pine and I am apple-orchard. | |
| My apple trees will never get across | |
| And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. | 25 |
| He only says, "Good fences make good neighbors." | |
| Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder | |
| If I could put a notion in his head: | |
| "Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it | |
| Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. | 30 |
| Before I built a wall I'd ask to know | |
| What I was walling in or walling out, | |
| And to whom I was like to give offence. | |
| Something there is that doesn't love a wall, | |
| That wants it down!" Robert Frost |
