Robert Frost-Flower-gathering

Flower Gathering 

I left you in the morning,

And in the morning glow,

You walked a way beside me

to make me sad to go.

Do You know me in the gloaming,

Gaunt and dusty grey with roaming?

Are you dumb because you know me not,

Or dumb because you know?

All for me?

And not a question

For the faded flowers gay

That could take me from beside you

For the ages of a day?

They are yours, and be the measure

Of their Worth for you to treasure,

The measure of the little while

That I've been long away.

"Flower Gathering" caught my attention the most because of the title. At first I thought this poem was going to be about happy, flowers in a garden, but as I started reading this poem, I pictured something else. The image of my brother's funeral popped up in my head when I read, "I left you in the morning, and in the morning glow, you walked a way beside me, to make me sad to go."As I continued to read the poem I noticed that the author used the literary device persona, the author uses I to indicate a person. Robert Frost also used imagery because I was able to picture a scene, and he also uses apostrophe.
