The poet asks of how this life would mean if we have the time to take a rest and feel the beauty of life. No time to stand beneath the bough And stare as long as sheep or cows. Working people nowadays have no time to rest and have some leisure time as they are too busy earning money for living. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
We have no time to experience the fresh air and the excitement of spending time in the jungle watching how the nature of the Earth works as we are too busy working in the town. No time to see, in broad daylight.Streams full of stars, like stars at night. Since nowadays people work very hard in the daylight, they turn to be tired at night.
As a result, they have no time to enjoy the beauty of the night seeing that they need to sleep for their body need to rest to start working early in the morning the next day. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. We have no time to care about our mothers; how they take care of us and doing the house chores in order to raise us and to make us live in a happy and comfortable environment.No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. We have no time to even take a look at our mothers to curve a smile again and the eyes that hide all the pain and suffer in raising us. A poor life this is, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.
The poet feels that a life without appreciating the nature is seen as a lifeless life because we don’t have the time for our self to care of the beauty of nature. Setting * Set in the countryside Persona wonders why man i s so busy that he lets life to pass him by and does not make any attempt to appreciate nature. Imagery * stream full of stars – gives the picture of a stream shimmering under the sun. * Beauty has ‘feet, how they can dance’ and ‘enrich that smile’ gives the picture of a beautiful, graceful woman. Simile * “And stare as long as sheep or cows” * “Like stars at night” Themes * We should take time off from our daily work to enjoy nature.
Nature has many beautiful things that we can appreciate if we take the trouble and time. * Learn to relax and enjoy the simple pleasure of life. * Learn to observe the little and beautiful things around us. * Enrich and expand our minds with the beauty of nature. Moral values * We need to take advantage of our free time to live a better lifestyle. * We should use leisure creatively to strengthen our minds and hearts.
* We should take note of the beautiful things around us. * Enrich and expand our minds with the beauty of nature.
