Robert Frost

The Frost Place is a center for poetry and the arts located at poet Robert Frost's farm on eight acres of land in Franconia, New Hampshire. Frost moved his family from England to this farm in 1915. The family used the farm from the spring of 1915 to the fall of 1920. During those years Frost's books North of Boston, A Boy's Will, and Mountain Interval were published in the United States (the first two were previously published in England), and the poet's inspiration from the natural world is evident in each of these works. Between 1920 and 1938 Frost and his wife returned to the farm as summer tenants.

Here is one of Frost's poems entitled, "The Pasture." "I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha'nt be gone long. -You come too. I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha'nt be gone long. -You come too."
