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 TO ANTHEA [WHO MAY COMMAND HIM ANYTHING] by ROBERT HERRICK THE WARDEN OF THE CINQUE PORTS (THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON) by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW FOR CHARLIE'S SAKE by JOHN WILLIAMSON PALMER AMORETTI: 64 by EDMUND SPENSER MARE LIBERUM by HENRY VAN DYKE ANIMALS, AND THEIR COUNTRIES by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
