Renouveau - meaning Summary
Spring as Time's Renewal
The poem presents a simple depiction of seasonal renewal. Time is personified taking off a winter cloak and putting on bright spring attire. Nature responds: forests fill with bird and animal voices, streams glitter with droplets, and the landscape appears freshly dressed. The tone is celebratory and cyclical, emphasizing restoration and the recurring shift from cold restraint to lively warmth without dwelling on grief or conflict.
Read Complete AnalysesNow Time throws off his cloak again Of ermined frost, and cold and rain, And clothes him in the embroidery Of glittering son and clear blue sky. With beast and bird the forest rings, Each in his jargon cries or sings; And Time throws off his cloak again Of ermined frost, and cold and rain. River, and fount, and tinkling brook Wear in their dainty livery Drops of silver jewelry; In new-made suit they merry look; And Time throws off his cloak again Of ermined frost, and cold and rain.
