Robert Frost The Sound of Trees

My reading of a poem by Robert Frost titled The Sound of Trees. I figured I ought to get something online for National Poetry Month before the month got away from me...

This came from a book titled The Poetry of Robert Frost, All eleven of his books-complete. The video is my own footage, edited to be a little fuzzy. I ran the audio through a program to modify it a bit and it sounds mushier to me than it did when I was making the video, however, it can be understood and the text is as follows:

The Sound of Trees

I wonder about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place?
We suffer them by the day
Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,
And acquire a listening air.
They are that that talks of going
But never gets away;
And that talks no less for knowing,
As it grows wiser and older,
That now it means to stay.
My feet tug at the floor
And my head sways to my shoulder
Somtimes when I watch trees sway,
From the window or the door.
I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare
The white clouds over them on.
I shall have less to say,
But I shall be gone.
