"Going for Water" by Robert Frost describes a father and son's journey to fetch water from a distant spring. The poem explores themes of perseverance, the passing of time, and the bond between generations. It reflects on the cycle of life and the importance of tradition.
It's generally classified as contradictory and ironic. It should be remembered that the idea of Tone is subjective, and means something slightly different to different people. What may seem sad to some, may be relaxing to others.
there is one idea that it is literally himself describing an old town where himself and a companion (probably female) used to visit/ live. They used to visit the place where they could look across the sea to the weir "matchstick". He remembers this relationship and how it failed in the last stanza.
however, I think that the correct and more insightful analysis would be that it is talking about a relationship the whole way through (especially the 4th-6th stanzas.
Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
>From this distance in time
it seems the color
of iris, rotting and turning purpler,
This stanza shows how looking back at a relationship can seem beautiful or appear poisonous and decaying. How time distorts your memories.
but it was only
the usual gray rock
turning the usual green
when drenched by the sea.
This shows that at the time both lovers thought that this was real and fantastic however looking back it was average and "usual".
The sea drenched the rock
at our feet all day,
and kept tearing away
flake after flake.
I am not sure about this but think that the sea represents the tears or hurt and suspicion in the end of a relationship and how this erroded the trust and stabilty of the love gradually.
There are many other forms of analysis for individual language etc but this is overall the best I could think of. I think that it is a very hard poem to analyse.

No. Frost is frozen water. Water is a compound.

When water vapor condenses on particles in the air, the water molecules liquefy and become liquid water.
No, frost wedging is caused by water expanding, not contracting.
Water expands as it freezes is the property of water that makes frost wedging possible. Frost wedging is sharp cornered boulders on bare mountain tops.
