What will be an ideal response?
- As lines 1–4 immediately make clear, the speaker is the farmer of the poem’s title. We see that he’s a busy and hard-working man (lines 2–3); the dialect in which he expresses himself suggests that he’s not educated, but he is clearly a sensitive person—sensitive to the natural world in which he moves and from which he wrests his living (lines 34–39), and sensitive especially to the feelings of his wife, despite her continuing to shrink from him. Under the circumstances, he seems patient and understanding.
