THE POOR FARMER'S OFFERING, by APOLLONIDES First Line: I am old euphron, with no broad array Last Line: And take the first-fruits of my ampler store. | |||
IAM old Euphron, with no broad array Of arable, nor vineyards rich in wine; My ploughshare scrapes a bit of shallow clay, The juices of a grape or two are mine: Mite can but yield its mite. God, give me more, And take the first-fruits of my ampler store. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LET IT BE YOU by SARA TEASDALE SONNET TO HIS FRIEND R.L.
