Uplands in May - meaning Summary
Renewal in the Uplands
Carl Sandburg’s short lyric captures a sudden, serene sense of renewal as spring reinvigorates a rural landscape. The speaker notes familiar wonders made new: pasture and road, lush lowland grasses, and a pull from lowlands to uplands. The poem emphasizes gentle movement and quiet reverence, ending with an image of powerful hills rendered humble by the season’s soft revival. It reads as a plain, tactile appreciation of nature’s return.
