THE FALLS by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: TIS A STEEP WOOD OF ROCKS
Last Line: AND THE FALLS CAME DOWN THERE.
Subject(s): WATERFALLS;
'Tis a steep wood of rocks,
With the fern grown everywhere;
But with no birds -- not a wing!
And the falls come down there.

Even an Indian trail
Would swerve to a haunt so fair!
One used to -- there were the ferns
And the falls came down there.
