FROST, Robert. COLLECTED POEMS OF ROBERT FROST with AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT 
POEM. New York: Halcyon House, (1940). Third Printing. This copy has 
been SIGNED by the author and INSCRIBED "For Daniel Smythe/Boston 
December 1940" with the complete eight-line poem "The Pasture," the 
first poem in the book, entirely in the poet's hand on the front 
endpaper. Interestingly Frost appears to have made a mistake at the 
beginning of the penultimate line and, though neatly done, it is clear 
that he erased a word or two and wrote over it. "The Pasture" is one of 
Frost's best known poems and not commonly encountered, complete, in 
manuscript form. Near Fine in a complete, Good dustwrapper.         
$7,500.00
