Tuft+of+flowers

Outline by: Matthew Davis
 * Tuft of Flowers**

"dew was gone" (3) evokes a scene occurring after morning, perhaps midday; all the dew has evaporated away "leveled scene" (4) evokes a feeling of loneliness; emptiness "isle of trees" (5) a feeling of solitude; the "island" of trees is located in the middle of an empty scene "grass all mown" (7) the mower's job is done and he has gone on his own way "noiseless wing" (12)
 * Imagery in Tuft of Flowers - Adds depth and meaning to the poem**

"tall tuft of flowers' (22) The tuft is a bunch of standing flowers, isolated and alone, along a brook that has been completely cleared of living things by the scythe.

"I looked" (5), "I listened (6); he looked and saw nothing, listened and saw nothing, which is followed by a transition word on line 7, "But he had gone his way" Contrast this with "made me hear the wakening birds around" (33), "hear his long scythe whispering" (34), "feel a spirit kindred to my own (35), "I worked no more alone" (36). Notice the change in diction from loneliness to togetherness; previously, he heard and saw nothing as a sign of his fellow worker from the morning and at the end, he hears his fellow worker and feels his kindred spirit (albeit metaphorically). cheap christmas gifts
