Poetry examples for “team”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

"Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive

And dimmer, and a glory done:
The team is loosen'd from the wain,
The boat is drawn upon the shore;

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

And maun I still, &c.
The merry ploughboy cheers his team,
Wi’ joy the tentie seedsman stalks;

Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke;
How jocund did they drive their team afield!
How bowed the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!
