The Bachelor by Stephanie Reed Book Two Kregel
At the beginning of each chapter is a quote. Since I have a fondness for Robert Frost, I could not pass by this quote without noting it.
"Where had I heard this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?"
"Bereft" by Robert Frost
Now I've talked myself in to looking up the whole poem. Hope I can find it online.
Where had I heard this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,
Looking down hill to a frothy shore?
Summer was past and the day was past.
Sombre clouds in the west were massed.
Out on the porch's sagging floor,
Leaves got up in a coil and hissed,
Blindly struck at my knee and missed.
Something sinister in the tone
Told me my secret must be known:
Word I was in the house alone
Somehow must have gotten abroad,
Word I was in my life alone,
Word I had no one left but God. http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bereft/
