COUNTRY-BRED, by JESSIE HOLT First Line: He is legitimate, born of the soil Last Line: And gone away. | |||
He is legitimate, born of the soil; Do not count overmuch on his toil. For strong bonds are pulling, now that it's spring -- Something he misses wages won't bring. He may vision a greening lane, Or an orchard wet with April rain. Then he may say "The lilacs are In bloom today." Then he'll be up And gone away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: SARAH BROWN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LINES ON OBSERVING A BLOSSOM [ON THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 1796] by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AN ESCAPE by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE A POEM FOR THE SEFIROT AS WHEEL OF LIGHT by NAFTALI BACHARACH BLUEBEARD by RUTH FITCH BARLETT LOST THREADS by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT OLD AND NEW; THE CENTURY ASSOCIATION, 1847-1897 by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER UNIVERSAL GOOD, THE OBJECT OF THE DIVINE WILL; AND EVIL by JOHN BYROM |
