"I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear I may): I shan't be gone long.---You come too. I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan't be gone long.---You come too." -- Robert Frost

Answer:

The poem's theme is the relationship between doing and the natural world. In addition, the poem establishes itself as an invitation for the reader to venture into this world.
