The Oven Bird
"The Oven Bird" is a 1916 poem by Robert Frost, first published in Mountain Interval. The poem is written in sonnet form and describes an ovenbird singing.
It has been described as a quintessential Frost poem.[1] Several Frost biographers and critics have interpreted the poem as autobiographical.[2] Harold Bloom argues that the bird in Frost is "at best a compromised figure" who learns in singing not to sing.[3]
