On what date was this poem written?

I've long admired this Frost poem for the physical sense it bestows devotion, in four scant lines. The image of the shore "Holding the curve of one position" -- making the effort to remain in one pose against the ocean -- and "Counting an endless repetition" of patience, much like the beating of the heart of the first line.

i absolutely love this poem, devotion. it reminds me of people that i adore. it can have so many meanings. if you like this poem, read the road not taken, too. :)
