The poem is in figurative language, the prominent figures of speech in the poem are Alliteration, Inversion, and imagery. The special feature of the poem is that the poem has beautiful natural images. Thus the poem is full of imagery.
Though the poem was originally written in the French language it has a universal theme that is the optimistic approach of the farmers. Even though the sower has seen so many bad harvests still he doesn't lose hope and believes that the next harvest will be his, with the same optimistic approach he sows the seeds and waits for the good yield. 
The poem is in narrative style as the poet narrates the story of the optimistic farmer. The language used by the poet is very simple and easy to understand.
