Such a heartwarming poem. There is a price we pay for all this modernization. And some time it is more than just the loss of natural beauty.

WoW! ! Robert Frost just made me feel teary-eyed sympathy for the plight of a brook that once ran merrily under the sun until city sprawl pushed it underground into the smelly dank darkness of the sewer system. Actually I know how he feels- -urban sprawl has robbed me of all the desert around here that I used to ride for hours in all directions- now mile after mile of housing.

So many brooks lost under cities! The poem as relevant today as years back!

This poem is only a fair effort in my estimation. It does not come together seamlessly as it should. The marks by others confirm this.
