<< Many times, caught early enough and

 the surface, sapping a mom of her energy and well-being >>

Katherine:

 the part of the poem i remember is...

                                                       " i was angry with my
friend, i told my rath, my rath did end...  i was angry with my foe, i told
it not, my rath did grow.."

     I believe this is from mending wall....
