The following poem is called



"The Winter Fields"

"Winds here, and sleet, and frost that bites like steel.

The low bleak hill rounds under the low sky.

Naked of flock and fold that fallows lie,

Thin streaked with meagre drift. The gusts reveal

By fits the dim grey snakes of fence, that steal

Through the white dusk. The hill-foot poplars sigh,

While storm and death with winter trample by,

And the iron fields ring sharp, and blind lights reel.

Yet in the lonely ridges, wrenched with pain,

Harsh solitary hillocks, bound and dumb,

Grave glebes close-lipped beneath the scrouge and chain.

Lurks hid the germ of ecstacy-the sum

Of life that waits on summer, till the rain

Whisper in April and the crocus come."

Let me try to analyze this poem: Descriptively, the poem talks about the bleakness and emptiness of a winter landscape. Lifeless because of the absence of the sun, greeneries, animals. But the poem also says that this bleak picture will be transformed back to life when Spring comes. In essence the poem teaches us about the virtue of Hope.
