Question

what does the farmers wife mean by 'harvest of my womd' in the poem the farmers wife ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The phrase 'harvest of my womb' refers to the four children the woman has borne. Just as the field produces the crop and has the harvest, the woman has produced children. If she, like her husband, takes the easier way out by committing suicide, the children will be left behind like the 'worm-eaten cotton pod.
