HARVESTING, by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Pale sheaves of oats, pocked by untimely rain Last Line: Uncarried on cold fields, is all my fear. Subject(s): Harvest | ||||||||
PALE sheaves of oats, pocked by untimely rain, Under October skies, Teased and forlorn, Ungathered lie where still the tardy wain Comes not to seal The seasons of the corn, From prime to June, with running barns of grain. Now time with me is at the middle year, The register of youth Is now to sing . . . My thoughts are ripe, my moods are in full ear; That they should fail Of harvesting, Uncarried on cold fields, is all my fear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STORM AT HOPTIME by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE LAST MAN by ELEANOR WILNER THE HOCK-CART, OR HARVEST HOME by ROBERT HERRICK HARVEST SONG by LUDWIG HENRICH CHRISTOPH HOLTY HARVEST MOON: 1914 by JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY ANTIQUE HARVESTERS by JOHN CROWE RANSOM THE POTATO HARVEST by CHARLES GEORGE DOUGLAS ROBERTS |
