In Winter Flower Never Bloom
In Winter Flower Never Bloom - meaning Summary
Seasonal Acceptance of Loss
The speaker addresses a former lover with weary tenderness and admits that the warmth between them has been spent. Autumnal images, September willows, dreary rain, brown dust, map the cooling of feeling and the grayness of memory. He blames himself for many mistakes and few paths taken, calling life’s split absurd as he surveys a birch grove that feels like a graveyard. The closing thought uses the season to argue for resignation: in winter flowers cannot bloom, so mourning what cannot survive is futile. The poem frames heartbreak as a natural, inevitable waning.
Read Complete AnalysesIt's sad to look at you, my love, and it's so painful to remember! It seems, the only thing we have is tint of willow in September. Somebody's lips have outworn your warmth and body trepidation, as if the rain was drizzling down the soul, that stiffened in congestion. Well, let it be! I do not dread. I have some other joyous gala. There's nothing left for me except for brown dust and grizzly colour. I've been unable, to my rue, to save myself, for smiles or any. The roads that have been walked are few mistakes that have been made are many. With funny life and funny split so it has been and will be ever. The grove with birch-tree bones in it is like a graveyard, well I never! Likewise, we'll go to our doom and fade, like callers of the garden. In winter flowers never bloom, and so we shouldn't grieve about them.
