ANOTHER REAPER, by WILLIAM H. ARMSTRONG III First Line: Go down,my son to the ploughing Last Line: When blood is on the plain. Subject(s): Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers | |||
Go down, my son, to the ploughing In fields where the robin runs, And turn the dead leaves under While I listen to the guns. Go down, my son, to the planting, Now nature makes man a seer, And root your faith in sub-soil For death is rumbling near. Go down, my son, to the harvest, The answer to prayers for rain, And I shall come down to find you When blood is on the plain. | 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 RACHEL by WILLIAM H.
