My Life Has Turned to Blue
My Life Has Turned to Blue - meaning Summary
Longing Through Seasonal Metaphor
The speaker uses seasonal imagery to express the sorrow of separation. Summer and golden dawns symbolize a former intimacy now replaced by grey, dew‑covered mornings and absence. Migratory birds and the cycle of seasons suggest hope that warmth will return, but the speaker makes clear that until reunion — "lying in green grass" — life remains desolate and blue. The poem contrasts natural renewal with persistent personal loss.
Read Complete AnalysesOur summer's gone, the golden days are through. The rosy dawns I used to wake with you have turned to grey, my life has turned to blue. The once-green lawns glisten now with dew. Red robin's gone, down to the South he flew. Left here alone, my life has turned to blue. I've heard the news that winter too will pass, that spring's a sign that summer's due at last. But until I see you lying in green grass, my life has turned to blue.
