Mending Wall" is a poem by the twentieth century American poet Robert Frost (1874–1963). It opens Frost's second collection of poetry, North of Boston,[1] published in 1914 by David Nutt, and it has become "one of the most anthologized and analyzed poems in modern literature".[2]
Like many of the poems in North of Boston, "Mending Wall" narrates a story drawn from rural New England.[3] The narrator, a New England farmer, contacts his neighbor in the spring to rebuild the stone wall between their two farms. As the men work, the narrator questions the purpose of a wall "where it is we do not need the wall" (23). He notes twice in the poem that "something there is that doesn’t love a wall" (1, 35), but his neighbor replies twice with the proverb, "Good fences make good neighbors" (27, 45).

With respect to Robert Frost's " Mending wall",
one possibility is that the wall symbolizes shared obligation. In the first two thirds of the poem, the speaker does not see a practical purpose of the wall,nor at first does the speaker appreciate the neighbour's assertion that "Good fences make good neighbours".
