“Fragmentary Blue” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]

Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?

Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet) ---
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

Cloud Deception [Lyric Poem]

Hiking to the hilltop
To get a better view,
I found myself in clouds
That edged the sky of blue.

Standing upon a cliff,
(How high? I cannot know,)
I doubt cloud would catch me,
If I'd let myself go.

But it looked so fluffy,
Like it could bear my weight,
But then the sky 'd looked clear
From down the valley strait.

I guess the moral is:
One just can't trust the sky;
If you leap into the clouds,
It's certain that you'll die,
& when you think the sky clear
You may be denied.
