ANOTHER SEASON, by THOMAS MCGRATH Poet's Biography
First Line: Fall work almost done
Last Line: Where someone was sharpening the knives
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Summer; Fall
First Line: Fall work almost done
Last Line: Where someone was sharpening the knives
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Summer; Fall
Fall work almost done . . .
Plowing finished and now only
The butchering still to do.
All summer, from the distant house, I heard
A slow grindstone, singing,
Where someone was sharpening the knives.
