- Into the pines she ran, and I ran after. I might have lost her, seeing no sign of blood or scuffle, but felt myself part of the woods, a woman with a doe’s ears, and heard her dying, counted her last breaths like a song of dying, and found her dying.

The deer in a woods a-bounding went; The hunter a bullet quickly spent; The deer fell dead, And the hunter said, "That bullet went straight as it was meant." There's a lot in this if you'll think it o'er, And the more you think it, the more and more; Had the bullet missed, And behind it hissed, The deer would be bounding as before.

In the first lines of ‘Two Look At Two’ the speakerbegins by placing the two characters, an unnamed man and woman, in the woods. These two have been traveling through the woods, hiking, or seeking out some particular destination all day and now the night is falling. The speaker states that, But only if the night wasn’t so near. They would not have ...
In the next set of lines, the speaker describes how the two walkers came upon “a tumbled wall.” This is a surprise, as up to this point it seemed as though the two were far from any form of civilization. The wall is there in front of them, physically, but it represents something larger. It is a metaphorfor the wall that humanity has erected between...
Line thirteen reveals that the two did not move after all. They continued to stand there, sighing and thinking that this was the end of their journey for the night. They say, “‘This is all”’ and “‘Good-night.”’ Again, they go against what they initially think is right. The two still do not move away from the wall. Something is keeping them there. P...
The speaker describes how the doe has trouble seeing the two humans on their side of the wall. The fact that they were not moving, and were of a shape she was unfamiliar with confused her eyes. She saw them as beinglike “some up-ended boulder split in two.” Although she doesn’t know what these people are, she can tell they aren’t afraid. She thinks...
In line twenty-five of ‘Two Look At Two’ one of the walkers wonders aloud if this is it, is there more they can “ask” for from the woods. There is, they aren’t done yet. There is a “snort,” which seems to come from the doe, that bids the two to “wait” where they are. Rather than the doe reemerging, a “buck,” or male deers come “round the spruce.” H...
The buck feels just as confused about the human onlookers as the doe did. Rather than standing still and thinking though, he “jerks” his head around. This makes it seem as though he is asking and answering, The deer is passing a judgment on the two humans, just as the humans would if the situation were not special. The buck sees them for what they ...
At this point, the buck moves off, as “unscared” as the doe, “along the wall.” Frost concludes the poem with the utilization of a variant of the title, “Two had seen two.” The two human walkers had seen two deer and vice versa, varying connections were made across the wall. The most important part was that there was a change. A “wave” came over the...

Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods, Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
May 13, 2011 · Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods; Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer; A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.
