The poem consists of 3 stanzas.
In first stanza, the poet describes how the skies are made happy by the rising of the sun. It is springtime on the green, and bells are being rung to welcome this loveliest of seasons. The Skylark and the thrush have flown back to the north at this time. There are many birds that are perching on the tops of the bushes outlining the area covered by the green. These birds are singing along to the tune of the ringing bells to produce a euphonious melody.
in second stanza, the poet shows that he has not entirely forgotten the aged while speaking about children. He looks at a group of older citizens sitting in the large and comfortable shade of an oak tree. Among this group, he isolates a man named John for he is in a very merry mood. It seems as if he has been able to forget all the things that were making him anxious previously, and is now quite relaxed. When the older generation sees their progeny at play, they reminisce about their own childhood.
in third stanza, the poet says that the younger children become tired fast and they cannot play anymore. So then they rest their heads on the laps of their mothers. Brothers and sisters lie together resting in the same place, just as little birds do in their nests. As a result, no one else can be seen playing on the green anymore as the sun sets and the whole area becomes dark.
