You Come, Too


As I was walking on our country road yesterday, I kept thinking of the Robert Frost poem, "The Pasture" and particularly the line, "You come, too." I wanted to share some of the sights I saw with you, so today I brought my camera to illustrate the poem. Here are Frost's words with my pictures of our pasture. Come along with me!

    The Pasture

         by   Robert Frost (1874–1963)

I’m going out to clean the pasture spring;
I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I shan’t be gone long.—You come, too.


 I’m going out to fetch the little calf
That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I shan’t be gone long.—You come, too.

*  I hope you enjoyed the poem and our walk in the pasture. If you did, I may take you on more walks with me this summer.

  1. Thanks, Judy. We don't often realize the beauty we have in our own back yard. We who live in the country are so "very" fortunate to have all the beauty around us. I miss our baby calves but enjoy seeing Bobby and Cathy's.
    Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you post more of your walks. Willadean
