Mending Wall
Something there is that does not love a wall, and every spring the frozen ground swell spills the boulders down, so two neighbours meet on an agreed day and walk the line setting them back. One keeps an apple orchard, the other pines, and only one of them keeps asking what he was walling in or out. It opens North of Boston, and both sides of every argument about borders have quoted it since.
