The poem that we are reading is about how great autumn is and how beautiful the time is, but more about the farmers and their land. The farmers are hoping that their land will produce vast amount of crops so that they can have plenty of crops. They are praying that the rains come that they can water the crops so that they grow and they are strong and healthy. It is understanding for them to be like this because it is what they do, they make their living and money by how the crops come up and you do not want your crops to be not very good. They are praying that the rains will come. I am not a farmer, but living in Illinois, which is consumed with fields, you understand how important it is to rain for the crops to grow. They base their life off planting and harvesting their crops and they do their best at that, and that is all they can do. They pray that their is rain that comes and nourishes their crops. They really can not do anything else besides pray and hope for the best and that is what the characters in this poem do.
It exemplifies the romanticism because it is very descriptive. Two examples of this is when they describe the moon, and the bridge. They say that the bridge is golden. Is it really golden??? Probably not, but it describes the bridge and it gives it a cooler meaning than just saying wooden bridge. It makes the poem a romanticism writing by this. The other is when it says that the shield is the red harvest moon. It makes the poem more exciting when they give a more meaningful description of something, instead of some boring reason. I am not going to lie, I have trouble finding the meaning of poems because I find it hard to understand. I have to get help a lot because it is hard. It does help to slow it down and take it one line at a time though.
