- Summary
- The Farmer has been married
to his wife for some time now
(years?). But she is a maid that
appears to be afraid of him and
other men. Throughout the poem
the relationship is portrayed as
being out of love. However the
farmer begins to have feeling of
love for his "bride". This love is
unrequited however. She has
rejected him, but he wants to be
with her and have children with
her. Towards the end of the
poem he is struggling to control
himself and it is unclear on how
long the farmer will be able to
resist taking her by force.

wrote the poem
during the 19th
centry
- Based on her
story in the farming
community

were not necessarily

organised according to
valuable family matches
and convenience, rather
than love
