Good Morning!

Good Morning! - meaning Summary

Morning as Gentle Awakening

Yesenin’s poem presents a quiet dawn in which elements of a rural landscape wake and greet the morning. Stars, a pond, birch, dew and nettles are observed with gentle affection, their movement and light conveying renewal and small pleasures. The speaker registers this communal awakening with a tone of tender wonder rather than grand pronouncement, making the scene intimate and immediately present.

The gold stars are sleeping, The mirror-pond trembles, The dawn light comes creeping And heaven's net reddens. The birch-tree smites sleepily, Her silk locks free-flowing, Green earrings are rustling. And silver dew glowing. Tall nettles by the fencing Their bright pearls are flaunting And whispering merrily: "Good morning!"
