It begins the same way as the other two when the speaker mentions a supernatural being, but this poem does not only directly address that being. Instead, the point of view is that of what would have happened. He doesn't ask for anything, he doesn't seek to change his current situation. He just wonders what would have happened if his harvest hadn't arrived? What would his life have been like if his harvests had not been successful and the harvesters had let him pass at harvest time in the fall? The wording of this particular work also leads me to believe that it is also a metaphor for his spiritual life. We can see this in the Bible, the holy and inspired work of God, which often mentions being ready for Jesus to return one day, calling that day a harvest day or, as we know it, a day of judgment. Based on Thoreau's deep spiritual connection, it can be assumed that he is thinking about what would have happened if I had done something.
