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 shan'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 shan't be gone long. -- You come too.
I strongly disagree with you. Even if we don't know what exactly Robert Frost meant, we can still speculate. First, you get the idea that the speaker is going out do chores. He's telling someone what's going on, IE a mother figure. Then, the next verse, the one that talks about the cow licking the calf, symbolizes motherhood. You notice how the calf is taken from her? It's the separation of mother and child as one grows up.

I think this poem actually is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. How anyone can think they can figure out what Robert might have meant is beyond me? I think the only way we would know is to have the guy dug up and brought back to life just long enough to ask him. Then slap him silly and toss his ass back into the hole where he belongs. Jesus... who cares what he meant he just makes and plays with words that confuses things. Just say what you mean damit keep things real and simple. Worthless piece of crap that someone has decided to call a poem and to have fun with in schools to see if anyone else could possibly think like this idiot. posted.
