MY SABINE FARM, by AUSTIN PHILIPS First Line: My sabine farm, or, sooth to speak Last Line: My sabine farm! Subject(s): Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers | ||||||||
MY Sabine Farm, or, sooth to speak, My cottage on some Cornish creek, Without pretence, of aspect plain, Shall yet a world of wealth contain: Such wealth as students prize and seek. Its garden large, in mode antique Severely ranged, no modern freak Shall mar. No miscalled friend shall gain My Sabine Farm. Such is my dream. Meantime I eke A scanty substance, week by week; For situate is my domain, Like lordlier castles are, in Spain ... Till I acquire, sedate and sleek, My Sabine Farm! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KICKING THE LEAVES by DONALD HALL THE FARMER'S BOY: WINTER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A BALLADE OF GREEN FIELDS; FOR F.W.M. by AUSTIN PHILIPS |
