I MAY, I MIGHT, I MUST
If you will tell me why the fen
appears impassible, I then
will tell you why I think that I
can get across it if I try.

HE�S GONE
He�s gone.
I do not understand.
I only know
That as he turned to go
And waved his hand,
In his young eyes a sudden glory shone,
And I was dazzled by a sunset glow
And he was gone.
-------------------
THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES
The night has a thousand eyes,
   And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
   With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
   And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
   When love is gone.
------------------
OUTCAST
Sometimes when alone
At the dark close of day,
Men meet an outcast majesty
And hurry away.

They come to the lighted house;
They talk to their dear;
The crucify the mystery
With words of good cheer.

When love and life are over,
And flight�s at an end,
On the outcast majesty
They lean as a friend.
------------------
Let us humor if we can
The vertical man
Though we value none
But the horizontal one.
--------------------
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Thought as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
--Robert Frost

from YE WEARIE WAYFARER
Question not, but live and labor
   �Till yon goal be won,
Helping every feeble neighbor,
   Seeking help from none;
Life is mostly froth and bubble,
   Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in anther�s trouble,
   Courage in your own.
