On Looking at a Photo of Robert Frost

  

 On Looking at a Photo of Robert Frost

Who would have thought
     that Frost,

who looks
      in all the books

like some grand father,

 who cleaned the spring
      in spring

and stopped in winter woods --

who, looking at this white-haired
     gentle man
        
would ever think
     that he,

 who knew that walls
     can't stand,

but built them anyway,

this white haired gentle man --

who would have thought
      that even he,

would be acquainted
     with the night

like me?
