From here today
There was an hourAll still
when leaning with my head against a flower
I heard you talk
Don't say I didn't, for I heard you say
You spoke from that flower on the windowsill
Do you remember what it was you said?"
"first tell me what it was you thought you heard"
"Having found a flower and driven a bee away,
I leaned my head,
And holding by the stalk,
I listened and I thought I caught the word
what was it? did you call me by my name?
Or did you say
someone said 'come' I heard it as I bowed
"I may have thought as much, but not aloud"
"Well so I came"
Robert Frost
I like the way that the poem is in first person
