Series based on Robert Frost's Poem "The Hill Wife"
One ought not to have to care
So much as you and I
Care when the birds come round the house
To seem to say good-bye

And preferring the out- to the in-door night,
They. learned to leave the house-door wide
Until they had lit the lamp inside

And once she went to break a bough
Of black alder.
She strayed so far she scarcely heard.
When he called her
Back to Top
