Already Evening
Already Evening - meaning Summary
Evening's Calm Rural Portrait
This short lyric sketches a quiet rural evening through simple sensory details: dew on nettles, moonlight on a roof, a distant nightingale, and birches like candles. The speaker leans against a willow and feels warm, secure, almost grand, likening comfort to a stove. The poem calmly widens its view to the river, town, and a drowsy watchman, blending intimate presence with a gently observed distant world and a settled, reflective mood.
Read Complete AnalysesAlready evening. Dew Glistens in the nettles. I stand at the roadside Leaning against a willow. The great light of the moon Falls full upon our roof. I hear a nightingale Singing somewhere far-off. I feel good and warm, grand As the winter stove. And like big candles stand The birches of the grove. And far away, beyond The river and the town, A drowsy watchman knocks His dead stick on the ground.
