After Apple-Picking
Robert Frost
1914
Introduction
Robert Frost's After Apple Picking
was first published in 1914 in the poet's second collection, North of Boston. After Apple Picking
has been continuously hailed as one of the finest poems by one of America's finest poets. Indeed, almost one hundred years after its publication, After Apple Picking
is studied regularly in poetry classes throughout the United States. A descriptive poem that ostensibly relates the speaker's thoughts on picking apples in an orchard, After Apple Picking
is a deceptively simple work. Its undertones reveal a deeply meditative poem on mortality and change. Some readings present the poem in light of a writing career coming to an impasse, of poems completed and yet to be written, and of those that will never be produced. In fact, while the poem is allusive, its exact allusions remain obscure, leaving it open to several interpretations.
These themes, among others, are presented through the extensive use of natural imagery. Written in a single stanza of forty-two lines, the poem is composed in a loose iambic pentameter (alternating stressed and unstressed syllables in a ten-syllable line). It is also written in rhyme, albeit loosely. The effect of this relaxed structure lends the poem a less formal and more conversational feel. Its descriptive language and underlying composition maintain a distinctively poetic tone. In this manner, After Apple Picking
places itself squarely in the intersection between traditional and modern poetry, a style that would serve Frost throughout his career. The poem can be found in The Road Not Taken: A Selection of Robert Frost's Poems
