=Paraphrase:=  The poem //Mulberry Fields// tells different stories about a field. One story is that people thought the field was wasting and it was not producing crops. So, they gathered stones and deposited them into the barn. This is significant because they are collecting rocks with symbols on them as an offering. Possibly to the gods of the earth and fertility. Another story is that the rock tried to build a wall to protect the land but only a few were used to build the wall and the house. But the crops refused to grow. She says that the stones are an ancient language that supposed to last forever and it points toward the river. After the rocks gathered there was not a single person in the house could sleep peacefully. There is a woman named Alice buried on the land and her body is decaying and her great grandson is now old and refuses to talk about slavery. At the masters table only one place is set for dinner because he's lonely. No seed will ever be able to flourish and grow, once it is planted it is forsaken. The wild berries are warming a field that is dead. You must grow unlike the seeds on the field.
