Spring Evening

Spring Evening - meaning Summary

Evening Longing and Nature

This short poem sketches a tranquil spring evening in the countryside. It follows simple rural scenes—a winding river, hills, a returning ploughman, a nightingale—and uses gentle personification of sunset, earth and sky. The mood is calm and slightly wistful, emphasizing quiet domestic return and a soft, unobtrusive yearning that links human life to seasonal and celestial rhythms. The poem privileges sensory detail over narrative action.

In the evening realm of the green spring, A calm river winds like a silvery string. The forested hills hug the red sun. The golden horn gives birth to the moon; In a tiny hut, the ploughman is back from the furrowed hills. The nightingale trills her loving tale, or a caprice, beyond the road, in a birch - coppice. The sunset above hears the songs and it blushes as if shy. The earth tenderly smiles at the sky, while she longs for the remote stars.
