Read these lines from the poem “fern hill.” all the sun long it was running, it was lovely, the hay fields high as the house, the tunes from the chimneys, it was air and playing, lovely and watery and fire green as grass. what does the speaker mean when he says, “all the sun long it was running”? he was exhausted by the end of the summer. the summer season made the sunny days longer. he worked all day and only got to explore the farm at night. the sunny weather allowed him to play outside all day.
