Explanation:
The Poetry of earth is never dead: (The poem opens with the poet asserting
that the „poetry of earth‟/ the „voice of
nature‟ is always alive.)
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, (Even when all the singing birds are
tired in the hot summer
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run and take shelter under the shady
branches of trees, the nature‟s song can

From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; (A voice which runs from hedge to
hedge and around the freshly-cut

takes over the duty of carrying on with
the everlasting song
In summer luxury,—he has never done even during summer
With his delights; for when tired out with fun as it is a luxury for him.
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. (The Grasshopper is fun-loving and
cheerful in summer. He takes rest
under the pleasant weeds only when he
has worked hard and found it
pleasurable.)
The poetry of earth is ceasing never: (The poet repeats the main theme of
the sonnet that the voice of the earth
never comes to an end.)
On a lone winter evening, when the frost (In an isolated winter evening, when

SUMMARY
Every poet has been attracted towards the beauty of nature. John Keats is no exception to this
and finds nature beautiful in all seasons not excluding the hot summer and cold winter. He
says that the earth is always singing. When the birds stop singing in the hot summer finding a
cool place, we find the grasshopper singing and flying from hedge to hedge. He sings
tirelessly and when tired, rests beneath some weed.
When the birds are silent in very cold weather, the earth never stops and expresses its
pleasure through different beings like the cricket. It seems to be increasing in warmth every
moment and half-asleep human beings feel it to be a grasshopper‟s song coming from grassy
hills. The poet means that people like to feel the warmth of summer even in bleak winter by
mistaking the Cricket‟s song for the Grasshopper‟s.
The Grasshopper and the Cricket carry on with the nature‟s persistent music, no matter what
the season is or how the atmosphere remains. Though they are two very little insects, who
take the big responsibility. That is why the poet has used personification on them by
capitalizing their names and using personal pronouns like „he‟ and „his‟.
The poem is symbolic where the Grasshopper and the Cricket both symbolize the constant
joyous mood of nature irrespective of season. In the lucidity of language, in its spontaneous
rhythm and theme of nature, the sonnet (a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of
formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line) has been a fine
example of a romantic poem.
THEME OF THE POEM
That nature is always a spontaneous source of optimism and happiness is the theme of the
poem. Nature never imparts pessimism and is never sad. Nature is always singing through the
mediums like grasshopper in summer and cricket in winter. Change in situation on weather
does not bring hindrances in the ever continuous mirth of nature.
