A Time To Talk
Robert Frost:
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
Friends
Emily Dickinson
They might not need me; but they might.
I'll let my head be just in sight.
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity
