People keep saying it's not good
     To learn things by heart,
     But pretty things well said —
     It's nice to have them in your head.
                                          ROBERT FROST

— and what could be nicer to have in one's head than:

     I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
     I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
     (And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
     I sha'n't be gone long. — You come too.

     I'm going out to fetch the little calf
     That's standing by the mother. It's so young
     It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
     I sha'n't be gone long. — You come too.

In YOU COME TOO America's beloved poet gathered a group of his poems to be read to and by young people. To Robert Frost, who was a great-grandfather with a remarkable number of small friends, this was a labor of love.

Here are found wit, wisdom, and tenderness in the poetry of a gentleman of youthful heart and beauty of spirit who "never added a single stone to the wall that so often separates age from youth."
