Explanation:

the poem,The Gift Outright, marks an outstanding achievement by Robert Frost in the field of  patriotic  poetry.  It  is  one  of  the  most  remarkably  patriotic  poems  about  America  and American people, and abounds  in national sentiments and a sense of pride  in this country. It contains a history of  America since the colonial times  in an extremely condensed  form. In a very short space of sixteen lines, it tells about the change in attitude that occurred among the British settlers in America towards this country of their adoption.

At first, they treated it as a colony established by them, and themselves as its alien possessors or  colonisers.  But  this  attitude  was  responsible  for  their weakness  as  a  people.  They possessed the country, but they did not have a feeling of oneness or identity with it. The sense of alienation deprived them of the strength that comes from pride  in, and devotion to, one’s country.The  British  settlers  continued,  for  a  long  time,  to  regard  England  as  their  fatherland  and America only as a colony where they had settled for material gains. Gradually, however, they realised  that they  ought to treat this  country  (America)  as their  own  country  and  themselves as its own people, and they should be willing to sacrifice themselves for its freedom and well-being. They then  found salvation  in  surrender and  made a gift outright of themselves to this country,  and  developed  a  sense  of  pride  in  belonging  to  it,  and  in  being  its people,  not outsiders or colonisers. They developed a sense of oneness with the country.Thus, the poem,  in a way,  is a piece of  national  history, but the poetic element  in  it remains unsuppressed by the narration of the history.
