'When I was just as far as I could walk
From here today,
There was an hour
All still
When leaning with my head again a flower
I heard you talk.
Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say—
You spoke from that flower on the window sill-
Do you remember what it was you said?'
'First tell me what it was you thought you heard.'
'Having found the flower and driven a bee away,
I leaned on my head
And holding by the stalk,
I listened and I thought I caught the word—
What was it? Did you call me by my name?
Or did you say—
Someone said "Come" — I heard it as I bowed.'
'I may have thought as much, but not aloud.'
"Well, so I came.'

This poem really is beyond what my imagination could ever concieve. I don't understand how he thought this through, and got this poem. I don't know if there are books out there that study the imagination of the writer and how they construct their poems, but I would be interested in studying poetry this way.

I think Robert Frost in this poem was talking
about how two people can be
so close in tune with each others thoughts
That feeling you get of being Ones soulmate
