This image was commissioned by the Franklin Mint in 1974 for a series of sterling silver medals honoring Robert Frost. Each of the twelve medals represented a Frost poem, the present illustrating A Mood Apart. The poem goes, "Once down on my knees to growing plants/ I prodded the earth with a lazy tool/ in time with a medley of sotto chants./ But becoming aware of some boys from school/ who had stopped outside the fence to spy/ I stopped my song and almost heart./ For any eye is an evil eye/ that looks in onto a mood apart."
