LOVE IN OCTOBER, by JOHN DRINKWATER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The fields, the clouds, the farms and farming Last Line: These many loves would founder in that night. Subject(s): Autumn; Farm Life; Love; Seasons; Spring; Fall; Agriculture; Farmers | ||||||||
THE fields, the clouds, the farms and farming gear, The drifting kine, the scarlet apple trees ... Not of the sun but separate are these, And individual joys, and very dear; Yet when the sun is folded, they are here No more, the drifting skies: the argosies Of wagoned apples: still societies Of elms: red cattle on the stubbled year. So are you not love's whole estate. I owe In many hearts more dues than I shall pay; Yet is your heart the spring of all love's light, And should your love weary of me and go With all its thriving beams out of my day, These many loves would founder in that night. | 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 |
