The Field Mouse although originally appears to be about nature has a deeper meaing within it. It is clear that throughout the stanzas (verses) that the poems happiness degrades and the mood and imagery becomes more painful and more destressing. Clarke within this poem is commenting on the human instinct to go to war and its effect on civilians. This is especially clear in the second stanza when a field mouse is killed. 'Curled up in agony as big as itself' shows the enormity of its pain and we as a reader cannot possible imagine it. Note also the 'a chance gift of sweetness' turns to 'wounding my land with stones'. This shows the fall into war and how you neighbour can turn on you.
