Question

Poem autumn in the hills, explain word slender spears and icy pronge?

Answer 1

In the poem 'Autumn in the Hills' Meera Uberoi appreciates the beauty of the season. Autumn comes before winter. The trees shed their leaves in this season.
The poet says that the mulberry trees and poplar trees have shed their leaves and become bare. The slender spears of the peach tree have become exposed to the cold air.
There are no humming bees which pick up pollen grains from the flowers. There are no flowers which will spread their fragrance in the night. The blossoms are withered and old.
The last song of the birds will be heard after which there will be silence. The air will no longer be filled with the melodious songs of the birds.
The days will be foggy in the last phase of autumn. Cold weather will set in with the coming of winter season and autumn will fade away.
