Answer 2

'Scarecrow' by Walter de la Mare.

Explanation:

• The poem discusses the passing of seasons and their impact on the scarecrow.
• The poem begins with the description of winters and rains when the scarecrow is completely idle. Therefore, he 'bows his head  beneath the driving rain' and 'blows black with snow.'
• After that, the poet describes the frost on scarecrow's body glittering in the presence of stars at midnight. In the morning, he is 'stiff as mail.'
• But as soon as the spring arrives in its full swing, 'rapture in his rags awake' to 'scan the ravening foes' i.e. crows.
• The scarecrow is now happy as he knows the snow-covered fields would soon be filled with the cereals again.
• Walter ends the poem on a happy note when his(scarecrow) long wait is over as he could now see the grain-filled lands shining in the bright sun.
