  3. “The House on the Hill” by Edwin Arlington Robinson Through broken walls and gray The winds blow bleak and shrill; They are all gone away

  4. “The Black Cottage” by Robert Frost “There are bees in this wall.” He struck the clapboards,        125 Fierce heads looked out; small bodies pivoted. We rose to go. Sunset blazed on the windows. What images project the feeling of life in the lines above.

  5. “Lost” by Carl Sandburg Desolate and lone All night long on the lake Where fog trails and mist creeps, The whistle of a boat Calls and cries unendingly, Like some lost child In tears and trouble Hunting the harbor's breast And the harbor's eyes.
