This was first used as the opening poem of North of Boston and later on Collected Poems (1930). The speaker in the poem is going into nature and inviting the reader, which reflects what he is about to do in his books of poetry.
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'n't 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'n't be gone long.—You come too.
The Pasture was written by Robert Frost.
