by James Russell Lowell
I saw a Sower walking slow
Across the earth, from east to west;
His hair was white as mountain snow.
His head drooped forward on his breast.
5 With shriveled hands he flung his seed,
Nor ever turned to look behind;
Of sight or sound he took no heed;
Select ALL the correct answers.
Which two statements express themes of the poem?
There is a responsibility of the elderly to change the future.
The things visible to the eye are not as they seem.
The elderly dwell on the strength and glory of their younger days.
Wars are never truly won because of their human cost.
Romanticizing the past can hinder progress and create chaos.
