To and fro, and scatters wide Shadows run across the lands: From his hands the precious grain: But a sower lingers still, Muse I, as I see him stride. Old, in rags, he patient stands Darkness deepens. Fades the light Looking on, I feel a thrill.

Answer:
Your poem is good for a beginner .You should read . It tried to be somewhere along the lines of Edgar Allen Poe and Pablo Neruda.But it feels a bit groundless and all over the place.
What I mean to say is that it's easy to come up with random strings of words that sound lyrical and beautiful, but to unify such lines to convey something meaningful is really hard, and somehow the actual purpose too.You should work on that, so that your lines complement each other.
Also try to be as grammatically correct as you can ,because even though poets enjoy certain liberties there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed.
I also feel that the first part and the second part of the poem sound like two different things merged together. It could also be that I am not imaginative enough to comprehend the link.
