Origine: Collected Poems of Robert Frost
“One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.”
Robert Frost Birches
General sources
Origine: "Birches" (1920)
Contesto: I’d like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
Variante: The rain to the wind said,
You push and I'll pelt.'
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.
