\nMowing
\nby Robert Frost<\/i> <\/p>\n
There was never a sound beside the wood but one,
\nAnd that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.
\nWhat was it it whispered? I knew not well myself;
\nPerhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
\nSomething, perhaps, about the lack of sound\u2014
\nAnd that was why it whispered and did not speak.
\nIt was no dream of the gift of idle hours,
\nOr easy gold at the hand of fay or elf:
\nAnything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
\nTo the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
\nNot without feeble-pointed spikes of flowers
\n(Pale orchises), and scared a bright green snake.
\nThe fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows.
\nMy long scythe whispered and left the hay to make.
