Robert Frost’s “Lodged”: Resilience in Wind and Rain
by Robert Frost
The rain to the wind said,
'You push, and I'll pelt.'
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.
Note: This poem perfectly captures the ferocity of summer storms in the garden:
