Frost disliked and did not attend elementary school beyond the third grade, but even sixty years later he could recall the names of his first principal and teachers. "When I was a child in San Francisco," he later told Louis Untermeyer, "I played sick to get out of going to school."Robert Frost: A Life, by Jay Parini,

THE PASTURE
by Robert Frost  

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.
