Poet Analysis

First Line: WHO FROM THE FARM-FIELD SINGING CAME
Last Line: THE TRYSTING-PLACE OF LIBERTY.
Subject(s): CARY, ALICE (1820-1871); CARY, PHOEBE (1824-1871);

Who from the farm-field singing came,
The song whose echo now is fame,
And to the great false city took
The honest hearts of Clovernook,
And made their home beside the sea
The trysting-place of Liberty.
