To the Thawing Wind




To the Thawing Wind, by Robert Frost

Come with rain, O loud Southwester!
Bring the singer, bring the nester;
Give the buried flower a dream;
Make the settled snow-bank steam;
Find the brown beneath the white;
But whate'er you do to-night,
Bathe my window, make it flow,
Melt it as the ice will go;
Melt the glass and leave the sticks
Like a hermit's crucifix;
Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages o'er;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out of door.

Patience on American History Sem 2: Colonial America, Revolutionary War.

After the Mayflower came and we turned into 13 colonies. South Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia, North Carolina, New York,
(then needed to look at the map for the rest, but knows the names)


They didn't want to pay money to get things [from King George] cause they had to pay extra money to get the same things that [people in England] got, but they didn't get to say how King George should spend it.

The colonists were mad and they made King George angry by throwing tea in the water [Boston Tea Party] and later they made that paper that said The Declamation of Independence and that made King George angry.

They had a war and they became their own country. America.
