Why Cling

Why Cling - meaning Summary

Life's Renewal Beyond Attachment

The poem urges readers to release attachment to a single, worn life and to accept continual renewal. Using the sun as an image of constant dying and rebirth, it presents life as divinely allotted and replenished. Rather than mourning loss or clinging to what is spent, the speaker invites trust in a sustaining source that supplies successive lives, framing mortality as cyclical and generous rather than final.
