Georgics are poems that treat farming, husbandry, and rural labor, often in an elevated or reflective way rather than as simple pastoral scenery. The best-known example is Virgil's Georgics, a long didactic poem that mixes practical instruction with praise of country life, seasonal change, and the human work of cultivating the land.
In later poetry, the term can also describe any poem that focuses on agricultural life or uses farm work as a serious subject for meditation.
Example
At dawn the farmer mends the split fence rail,
then checks the orchard, counting blossom, frost,
and what the dry wind promised to the field.
He lifts the spade like a tool and a prayer.
