Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
![Page 7: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But I am done with apple-picking now.
![Page 8: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
![Page 9: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.
![Page 10: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight
![Page 11: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I got from looking through a pane of glass
![Page 12: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough
![Page 13: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And held against the world of hoary grass.
![Page 14: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It melted, and I let it fall and break.
![Page 15: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But I was well
![Page 16: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Upon My Way to Fall Before it Fell
![Page 17: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And I Could Tell
![Page 18: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Form My Dreaming was About to Take
![Page 19: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Magnified Appear and Disappear

Stem End and Blossom end,
![Page 21: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And Every Fleck of Russet Showing Clear
![Page 22: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
My Instep Arch Not Only Keeps the ache,
![Page 23: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It Keeps the Pressure of a Ladder Round
![Page 24: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
I Feel the Ladder Sway as the Boughs Bend.
![Page 25: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
And I Keep Hearing from the Cellar Bin

The Rumbling Sound

Of Load on Load of Apples Coming in

For I Have had too much

Of Apple Picking: I am Overtired

Of the Great Harvest I myself Desired

There Were Ten Thousand Thousand Fruit to Touch,
![Page 32: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cherish in Hand, Lift Down, and not let Fall
![Page 33: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
For All

No Matter if not Bruised or Spiked with Stubble,
![Page 36: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Went Surely to the Cider-Apple Heap
![Page 37: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
As of no Worth.
![Page 38: After Apple-Picking By Robert Frost. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/551a8026550346761a8b5012/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
One can see what will Trouble

This Sleep of Mine, Whatever Sleep it is.

Long Sleep, as I Describe its Coming on

Rhyme SchemeMy long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a treeToward heaven still,And there's a barrel that I didn't fillBeside it, and there may be two or threeApples I didn't pick upon some bough.But I am done with apple-picking now.Essence of winter sleep is on the night,The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.I cannot rub the strangeness from my sightI got from looking through a pane of glassI skimmed this morning from the drinking troughAnd held against the world of hoary grass.It melted, and I let it fall and break.But I was wellUpon my way to sleep before it fell,And I could tellWhat form my dreaming was about to take.Magnified apples appear and disappear,Stem end and blossom end,And every fleck of russet showing clear.My instep arch not only keeps the ache,It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.I feel the ladder sway as the boughs bend.

Rhyme SchemeAnd I keep hearing from the cellar binThe rumbling soundOf load on load of apples coming in.For I have had too muchOf apple-picking: I am overtiredOf the great harvest I myself desired.There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall.For allThat struck the earth,No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,Went surely to the cider-apple heapAs of no worth.One can see what will troubleThis sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.Were he not gone,The woodchuck could say whether it's like hisLong sleep, as I describe its coming on,Or just some human sleep.
