Now close the windows and hush all the fields:
If the trees must, let them silently toss;
No bird is singing in them now, and if there is,
Be it my loss.
It will be long ere the marshes resume,
It will be long ere the earliest bird:
So close the windows and not hear the wind,
But see all wind-stirred.
Analysis:
Title
When I first saw the title, i thought this poem was about night time or rain because windows are usually closed either at night or when it rains.
Paraphrase
Quiet down the whole field and interfere the view,If some of the plants have to, then let them have it their way, there should be no birds humming, but if some are, be it my loss. It will be along time from now to see the birds and the green plants, therefore, close the windows and don't listen to the wind, but the wind is always there.
Connotation
connotation- Now close the windows and hush all the fields
symbol- "fields" kind of symblizes fall
personification- 3rd person
Attitude
In this poem, the Robert Frost kind of seems to be getting ready for the winter, because he said, 'there are no more birds in them singing' which means it's winter.
Shifts
At the beginning of the poem, Robert Frost kind of seems to be happy, but as the poem goes on, he seems to be desperately waiting for winter to pass by.
Title
Just like splashing water over my thoughts, the first few lines of the poem tells us what the title meant by saying, 'Now close the windows.' Instead of rain or night, the poem is about getting ready for winter and how long winter is.
Theme
Robert Frost is trying to tell us through this poem that it is hard to adjust a new environment.
