Upon Green Hills Wild Droves of Horses Blow
Upon Green Hills Wild Droves of Horses Blow - meaning Summary
Horses as Passing Memory
The poem uses a sweeping image of wild horses racing across green hills to evoke transience and unease. Golden bloom and heavy manes suggest vigorous life, while the moonlit silver bridle, snorting horses, and fear of their own shadows introduce restraint and foreboding. The animals seem to embody passing days and an anxious awaiting of morning, a brief, lyrical meditation on motion, loss, and fragile beauty.
Read Complete AnalysesUpon green hills wild droves of horses blow The golden bloom off of the days that go. From the high hillocks to the blue-ing bay Falls the sheer pitch of heavy manes that sway. They toss their heads above the still lagoon Caught with a silver bridle by the moon. Snorting in fear of their own shadow, they, To screen it with their manes, await the day.
