hey bros, i was doing a past english paper 1, and here is a poem and i 100% dont know what it is on about. Someone help?
In Northern Tasmania
Soft sodden fields. The new lambs cry,
And shorn ewes huddle from the cold.
Wattles are faintly tinged with gold.
A raven flies off silently.
Bare hawthorn thickets pearled with rain
Attract the thornbillabd the wren.
Timber-trucks pass now and then,
And cows are moving in the lane.
At dusk I look out through old elms
Where mud-pools at the gatepost shine.
A way of life is in decline.
And only those who lived it know
What it is time overwhelms,
Which they must gradually let go.
