The land was ours before we were the land's.
She was our land more than a hundred years
Before we were her people.
She was our land more than a hundred years
Before we were her people.

The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.

He only says, 'Good fences make good neighbors.'

Mending Wall, 1914
Tree at my window, window tree,
My sash is lowered when night comes on;
But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.

But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.
Tree at My Window, 1928

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Join the United States and join the family
But not much in between unless a college.

Build Soil, 1932
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes all the pressure off the second.

Unless I'm wrong
I but obey
The urge of a song:
I'm 'bound' away!
And I may return
If dissatisfied
With what I learn
From having died.
