THE POOR FARMER'S OFFERING, by APOLLONIDES First Line: I am old euphron, with no broad array Last Line: And take the first-fruits of my ampler store. | ||||||||

God, give me more, And take the first-fruits of my ampler store. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SUMTER by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL PARTING LOVERS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE DREAM by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS IN NEW ENGLAND [NOVEMBER 19, 1620] by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS ENVOY, TO 'MORE SONGS FROM VAGABONDIA' by RICHARD HOVEY BITTERNESS by VICTORIA MARY SACKVILLE-WEST |
