  5. “The work of the hunters is another thing” “And on a day we meet to walk the line” “Oh, just another kind of out-door game, one on a side” “ He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him” “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know What was I walling in or walling out”
