Difficult

I am looking for the origin of a poem. My colleague in English and I have been looking everywhere (we think) and have not found the answer.


Question: When did Edwin Muir publish the poem 'Horses'?


Note: 'Horses' is recalling memories of the country-side, with horses ploughing the field.

First lines:

Those lumbering horses in the steady plough, 
On the bare field I wonder why, just now,

 

He also wrote a more well-known poem called 'The Horses' about a society falling apart, possibly recovering from a disaster, starting like this:

Barely a twelvemonth after
The seven days war that put the world to sleep,
Late in the evening the strange horses came.


The latter is NOT what I'm looking for.
