Read the following poem and compare it with The School Boy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The One Furrow
\nWhen I was young, I went to school
\nWith pencil and footrule
\nSponge and slate,
\nAnd sat on a tall stool
\nAt learning\u2019s gate.
\nWhen I was older, the gate swung wide;
\nClever and keen-eyed
\nIn I pressed,
\nBut found in the mind\u2019s pride
\nNo peace, no rest.
\nThen who was it taught me back to go
\nTo cattle and barrow,
\nField and plough:
\nTo keep to the one furrow,
\nAs I do now?<\/p>\n

The poem The School Boy is about a school boy who does not like to go to school. He wants to enjoy the summer morning listening to the sweet birds. He finds school dull and uninteresting. He feels like a bird in a cage, listening to the boring school lessons. He thinks that he is not getting a chance to blossom, and is being nipped in the bud because of all the sorrow he gets by going to school.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the poem \u2018The One Furrow\u2019 is about a small boy who seems to like attending school. He would carry his ruler, pencil and slate under his arm and make way for school readily.<\/p>\n

But as he grew up, he was unable to find the same peace of mind at school that he used to. This is why he went back to farming and to nature. It is in his farm that he found peace and rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
