This is by Robert Frost, found it in The Book of Virtues' "Friendship" chapter. I probably should try to work on this more often, sort of why I'm posting it, as a reminder.
"When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
At all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, "What is it?"
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod; I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit."
