Robert Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963 / San Francisco)

This is very nearly a sonnet.We know a sonnet has 14 lines and this 15, which is evidence that Frost was more interested in completing what he had to say than in following a traditional verse pattern.
The first, fifth and sixth lines are magical, but the key line of the poem is the last one.What for me is especially memorable is the way he describes the faded stream, 'a brook to none but who remember long.'
The poem tells us a lot about the nature of loyalty and love.
