FRAGMENTS (4) by GEORGE MEREDITH

Poet Analysis

First Line: A WILDING LITTLE STUBBLE FLOWER
Last Line: GAVE LIKENESS 'TWIXT THE LIVE AND DEAD.
Subject(s): MORNING; NATURE; SUN;

A WILDING little stubble flower
The sickle scorned which cut for wheat,
Such was our hope in that dark hour
When nought save uses held the street,
And daily pleasures, daily needs,
With barren vision, looked ahead.
And still the same result of seeds
Gave likeness 'twixt the live and dead.
