Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.

The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
By leaving them to flourish, not for us,

Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old.”
