THE BEANFIELD, by JOHN CLARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A beanfield in blossom smells as sweet Last Line: To battered footpaths crossing o'er the fields. Subject(s): Fields; Pastures; Meadows; Leas | ||||||||
A beanfield in blossom smells as sweet As araby, or groves of orange flowers; Black-eyed and white, and feathered to one's feet, How sweet they smell in morning's dewy hours. When soothing night is left upon the flowers, Another morn's sun shines brightly o'er the field, And bean bloom glitters in the gems of showers, And sweet the fragrance which the union yields To battered footpaths crossing o'er the fields. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNTING PHEASANTS IN A CORNFIELD by ROBERT BLY THREE KINDS OF PLEASURES by ROBERT BLY QUESTION IN A FIELD by LOUISE BOGAN THE LAST MOWING by ROBERT FROST FIELD AND FOREST by RANDALL JARRELL AN EXPLANATION by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON IN FIELDS OF SUMMER by GALWAY KINNELL |
