I'll Glance in the Field

I'll Glance in the Field - meaning Summary

Nature as Consolation

Yesenin’s short lyric evokes a rural, restorative vision in which fields, sky and untended groves represent a personal paradise and renewal. The speaker returns to nature’s rhythms—rye stacks, herds, a golden fountain—and senses a healing compassion at work in the world. The closing lines suggest that human suffering is being eased by a gentle, almost maternal force, making the landscape a site of consolation and spiritual repair.

I'll glance in the field, glance in the sky - Both the fields and sky are my paradise. Again my undone land Is diving into the stacks of rye. Again, in the untended groves There are inescapable herds, And the water from the golden fountain Is cascading down the green hills. Oh, I believe, it must be, the agony Over the last suffering man That someone is effusing Gentle hands like milk.
