These Fevered Days – to Take Them to the Forest
These Fevered Days – to Take Them to the Forest - meaning Summary
Seeking Refuge in Nature
The poem expresses a speaker’s wish to escape anxious, “fevered” days by retreating into a cool forest. Images of mossy waters, pervasive shade, and pervasive stillness convey a longing for restorative quiet and relief from inner agitation. The closing hesitation — that this simple withdrawal "would be all" — leaves the desire unresolved, suggesting both the consolations and the insufficiency of solitude as remedy.
