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'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.
by Robert Frost
" You come too." That must be one of the most inviting phrases in our language. Not, "go away", or, "I am busy", but a warm, beckoning, "You come too". It says, "I care about you, and want to share this experience with you."
As a mother, I am tempted to say, "Not right now," but a simple, welcoming, "You come too"..."that has made all of the difference." :)
