SELF-REJECTED, by JEAN STARR UNTERMEYER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Plow not nor plant this arid mound Last Line: Spare your trouble. Subject(s): Farm Life; Hope; Agriculture; Farmers; Optimism | ||||||||
PLOW not nor plant this arid mound. Here is no sap for seed, No ferment for your need -- Ungrateful ground! No sun can warm this spot God has forgot; No rain can penetrate Its barren slate. Demonic winds blow last year's stubble From its hard slope. Go, leave the hopeless without hope; Spare your trouble. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SONNET: 9.
