One theme of the poem can be the celebration of the unexplained. In the poem nothing has a valid explanation and it keeps the reader wondering what it all means. Another theme is the quest for understanding. It is about the importance of searching for meaning and the reason behind one’s existence. The poem also throws light at the universal loneliness every human being is associated with.
Examples of aural imagery are-
"forest's ferny floor"
"he suddenly smote"
"And his horse in the silence champed the grasses"
