Assonance (heavily presence of the vowel letters), draws out the image of power: big and strong, nautical imagery (of the sea, he is always there, he is essential to his life), simile

“His shoulders globed like a full sail strung”

Caesura, he is blunt and bold, adjective "expert" shows that his assureity

Nautical imagery, the earth is so smoother so the earth doesn't break, he is precise, he is very neat and tidy, enjambment, symbolises the horses movement, used to give depth, shows how easy the work of a farmer is.

“with a single pluck” […] “of reigns”

Power of three of dynamic verbs, his father was stable, father isn't bothered, he kept on going.

”Stumbled” implies the uncertainties Heaney has about his ability to take the same path as his father, and may also imply the innocence and inexperience he has due to his young age.   "Fell" Shows how much Heaney is struggling to mold an identity when he cannot follow the same path as his father. “Fell” contrasts with the “polished” adjective used to describe his father’s work, which indirectly compares the father and son.

"I stumbled in his hob-nailed wake,   Fell sometimes on the polished sod;"

Expresses his wish to follow in his father’s footsteps when he is older.

"I wanted to grow up and plough,   To close one eye, stiffen my arm.  All I ever did was follow  In his broad shadow round the farm."

Unusual phrasing of “rode me”, interpretation is this may be a reflection of the Northern Irish dialect. It is also an activity taking place away from work, which suggests his father strengthened the father-son bond not exclusively through working on the farm.

Transposed sentence: this would make more sense as “always yapping”, but this ‘incorrect’ grammar could either display traditional dialect or show how all consuming the boy’s admiration for his father is.  Repeats the word “stumbling”, this time affixed to his father, which highlights the cyclical form of the poem and the role reversal that has taken place, representative of the ‘circle of life’.

"I was a nuisance, tripping, falling,  Yapping always. But today  It is my father who keeps stumbling  Behind me, and will not go away."

Establishing his father’s aptitude for and experience with farming, to emphasise his own feelings of displacement in the farm environment when trying to establish his own identity.

"The sod rolled over without breaking.  At the headrig, with a single pluck"

Instantly sets up the focus of the poem onto his father, and the possessive ‘my’ centres the poem around their relationship. ‘  The sibilance of “shoulders” and “sail” suggests the father works very smoothly and deliberately. Father appears larger than life, to the son.

"My father worked with a horse-plough,  His shoulders globed like a full sail strung"
