"I leave you the world as I knew it,
The land and the sea, in your care,
Seen from the sky, where I flew it,
I leave you the view from the air."   

Reeve Lindbergh (son of aviator, Charles Lindbergh)

(To whom would Jack say that the poet is speaking? To whom do you think the poet is speaking? Does this stanza remind you of anything? Did you make any connections?)

The Pasture by Robert Frost
Listen to Robert Frost read his poem, "The Pasture"

The Pasture

By Robert Frost 1874–1963       

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.

 

(To whom would Jack say that the poet is speaking? To whom do you think the poet is speaking?)
