Into My Own by Robert Frost
- One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
- So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
- Were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
- But stretched away unto the edge of doom.
- I should not be withheld but that some day
- Into their vastness I should steal away,
- Fearless of ever finding open land,
- Or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.
- I do not see why I should e'er turn back,
- Or those should not set forth upon my track
- To overtake me, who should miss me here
- And long to know if still I held them dear.
- They would not find me changed from him they knew--
- Only more sure of all I thought was true.

Modern Sonnet - Robert Frost
So, he doesn't follow the same rhyme scheme as Shakespeare - he has a slightly different pattern. Also, it's not necessarily a poem about love, appreciation, or admiration...it has a pretty dark tone to it. Check it out:
