UNDERTONES: IN THE PROVINCE OF CHILI, by DAVID O'NEIL First Line: Farmers stark as stubble fields Last Line: Hungry mouths do not drive shrewd bargains. Subject(s): Chili | ||||||||
Farmers stark as stubble fields Waiting for a sign from Heaven. Tarnished Gods often keep them waiting While the Great Tuchon Buys at famine prices Their work oxen. Then the children buyers Come from Shansi -- Hungry mouths do not drive shrewd bargains. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THERE IS THAT PERSON by BRIAN SWANN THE JOYS OF THE ROAD by BLISS CARMAN THE BLESSED VIRGIN, COMPARED TO THE AIR WE BREATHE by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS SHADOWS: 2 by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES THE ASS IN THE LION'S SKIN by AESOP THE FLIGHT OF THE WAR-EAGLE by OBADIAH CYRUS AURINGER TO HIS INGENIOUS FRIEND, MR.
