A Wind Has Blown the Rain Away and Blown
A Wind Has Blown the Rain Away and Blown - meaning Summary
Wind Strips to Essentials
The poem depicts a wind that strips rain, sky, and leaves, leaving bare trees and a speaker who identifies with prolonged autumn. Addressing the wind, the voice asks if it has loved or been wounded, then invokes a macabre dance and the image of a last whirling leaf. Repetition of the stripped landscape and the final image of trees waiting against the moon emphasize themes of loss, mortality, and the cyclical end of seasons.
Read Complete Analysesa wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think i too have known autumn too long (and what have you to say, wind wind wind—did you love somebody and have you the petal of somewhere in your heart pinched from dumb summer? O crazy daddy of death dance cruelly for us and start the last leaf whirling in the final brain of air!)Let us as we have seen see doom’s integration………a wind has blown the rain away and the leaves and the sky and the trees stand: the trees stand. The trees, suddenly wait against the moon’s face.
