Text of the Poem

"SOMETHING there is that doesn't love a wall..." See in text (Text of the Poem)

The poem opens with a mysterious phrase. The first word signals to us that the poem will uncover that “something… that doesn’t love a wall.” In the beginning, that “something” appears to be the forces of nature. But when the phrase is repeated later on, it becomes the narrator who challenges the wall’s existence.
