Question

ead the poem given below and do the activities that
Sitting in a porchway cool.
Sunlight I see, dying fast.
Twilight hastens on to rule.
Working hours have well-nigh past
shadows run across the lands;
But a sower lingers still,
Old in rags, he patient stands
Looking on, I feel a thrill
Black and high, his silhouette
Dominates the furrows deep!
Now to sow the task is set.
Soon shall come a time to reap.
Marches he along the plain
To and fro and scatters wide.
From his hands the precious grain;
Muse I, as I see him stride.
Darkness, deepens, fades the light.
Now his gestures to mine eyes.
Are August and strang, his height
Seems to touch the starry skies.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer.

Explanation:

The poem "The Sower" is from Dutt's A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields (1876), and is a translation of a Victor Hugo poem. It describes an encounter between the poem's speaker, who sits within a "porchway," and the titular "sower," whom the speaker watches as he carries out his task of planting seeds.

The poem The Sower is about hard work, consistency, hopeful and courage. We learn that we should keep working even when others don't because successful people become successful because of their habits, hope and courage. A poor can also succeed in his life if he is hard working, consistent and has hope and courage.
