Question

Yet have I killed the seed I spent or sown it where the land is his and none of mine.what does these lines mean???

Answer 1

These lines from the poem ‘Father to Son by Elizabeth Jennings means the father tried to sow the seeds of love in his son’s heart but since the heart belongs to his son, it was up to him whether to nurture those seeds into plants of love or dig them out and throw them without bearing any fruit. The father complains his son did not bother to tend those seeds of love.
