English prompt to store wood in rural work (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eclogue

'rural work' is the definition.
(poem on a rural theme)

'english prompt to store wood' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'prompt' becomes 'cue' (synonyms).
'to store' indicates putting letters inside.
'wood' becomes 'log' (a log is a piece of wood).
'cue' placed around 'log' is 'clogue'.
'e'+'clogue'='ECLOGUE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for eclogue that I've seen before include "Lines written" , "Poem about country" , "Short pastoral poem" , "pastoral work" , "Work on farm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
