    a feller is a-feelin’ at his best,
    With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
    As he leaves the house, bare-headed, and goes out to feed the stock,
    When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.
    —James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916)

    An’ wash the cups an’ saucers up, an’ brush the crumbs away,

    I always have felt strange when we came home
    To the dark house after so long an absence,
    And the key rattled loudly into place
    Seemed to warn someone to be getting out
    At one door as we entered at another.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
