Robert Frost - The ImpulseRobert Frost - The Impulse
Work rating: Medium


It was too lonely for her there,            And too wild,            And since there were but two of them,            And no child,                        And work was little in the house,            She was free,            And followed where he furrowed field,            Or felled tree.                        She rested on a log and tossed            The fresh chips,            With a song only to herself            On her lips.                        And once she went to break a bough            Of black alder.            She strayed so far she scarcely heard            When he called her—                        And didn`t answer—didn`t speak—            Or return.            She stood, and then she ran and hid            In the fern.                        He never found her, though he looked            Everywhere,            And he asked at her mother`s house            Was she there.                        Sudden and swift and light as that            The ties gave,            And he learned of finalities            Besides the grave.
