I wish I could promise to lie in the night And think of an orchard's arboreal plight...wonderfully crafted these two lines also where poetic promise made him concerns for the nature... So good bye but with the coming back wishing

How often already you've had to be told, Keep cold, young orchard. Good-bye and keep cold. Dread fifty above more than fifty below.....though there was good bye to all but there was concerning emotion to all, life is continue program by nature, none can say good bye this eternally, have to come back here....great philosophical poem

Clearly the poet -farmer has planted the orchard; otherwise he wouldn't feel so close to it nor care for it as much as he does. It is unusual to say 'Goodbye and keep cold' to a group of trees, but it perfectly expresses Frost's interest in their survival. He does all he can to ensure this; the rest he states is up to God.
