Question

What was the hare doing in the poem AFTER THE STORM by William Wordsworth?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Poem “After the Storm” has been taken from the collection “Resolution and Independence”. Stanzas I–III of the poem describes the poet’s joy while taking a morning walk after a night of rain. The poem is based on Wordsworth’s actual encounter with a leech-gatherer on 3 October 1800, near his home at Dove Cottage in Grasmere. However, the poem was not written until May 1802. The poem talks about the joy felt by the animals and birds after the stormy night. All the animals and birds like “Jay”, “Magpie (Squirrel)”, “Hare”, “Stock-Dove” are extremely happy and seen rejoicing with each other.
