17. Robert Frost (1874– 1963)
NEITHER OUT FAR NOR IN DEEP
The people along the sand
All turn and look one way .
They turn their backs on the land.
They look at the sea all day
As long as it take to pass
A ship keeps rising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull.
The land may vary more;
But wharever the tuth may be –
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.
They cannot look out far .
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?
