<span>Squire
With him there was his son, a youthful squire,
A lover and a lusty bachelor,
With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press.
Some twenty years of age he was, I guess.
In stature he was of an average length,
Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength.
He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry
In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy,
And borne him well within that little space
In hope to win thereby his lady's grace.
Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead,
All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red.
Singing he was, or fluting, all the day;
He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide.
Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride.
He could make songs and words thereto indite,
Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write.
So hot he loved that, while night told her tale,
He slept no more than does a nightingale.
Courteous he, and humble, willing and able,
And carved before his father at the table.</span>

The Song of the Open Road and The Road Not Taken show the difference between Walt Whitman and Robert Frohavest in their perpectives on roads. To Walt Whitman going on the Open Road is like going on an adventure and revelling in all the sights and sounds that one passes whereas for Robert Frost when he says for example, Two roads diverged in the yellow wood" and that philosophically the road one takes in life determines your experiences and perspectives on life so that say someone who never leaves the say small town he/she grew up in will most likely have a more narrow perspective on life than someone who ventured out in the world and travelled and encountered other cultures etc.
You can conclude that Rita enjoys being active and being around friends and family, so when she didn't have anything to do the rest of the summer she grew bored and lazy, which caused her to count and dwell on the fact that her friends weren't with her and how many days were left until they were.
