After Apple Picking (Robert Frost)

"The woodchuck would say whether it's like his

Long sleep, as I describe its comng on,

Or just some human sleep."

Ok, my first thought was hibernation (don't laugh) but I was not aware that woodchucks hibernate. I think while I was reading woodchuck my mind was resolved on woodpecker. Thanks to google I now know that, yes, woodchucks, also known as groundhogs (the light bulb goes on), do in fact hibernate. And sadly, that was as far as my interprative skills were able to pry into the meaning of this poem.
