THE SOUND of the closing outside door was all.           #30
                      You made no sound in the grass with your footfall,
                      As far as you went from the door, which was not far;
                      But you had awakened under the morning star
                      The first song-bird that awakened all the rest.
                      He could have slept but a moment more at best.
                      Already determined dawn began to lay
                      In place across a cloud the slender ray
                      For prying beneath and forcing the lids of sight,
                      And loosing the pent-up music of over-night.
                                                        --Robert Frost
