Full Poem
description
The poem is pictorially centered in the dynamic picture of the garden, where all the elements—the grazing lambs, the spun ropes—each represents the contraries of life. The formal placement of stanzas reflects the progression of the speaker's inner journey, and the structure underlines the link between nature and human feeling. The poem is thus able to progress in a fluid motion that draws readers into the symbolic beauty of the garden and abstractly considers deeper existential issues, rendering it visually and emotionally unified.
