There Will Come Soft Rains Analysis
Author: Poetry of Sarah Teasdale Type: Poetry Views: 3433
 |
There will come soft rains and the
smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their
shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at
night,
And wild plum-trees in tremulous
white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low
fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war,
not one
Will care at last when it done.
Not one would mind, neither bird
nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke
at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Man has always dignified themselves because they invent, create, and so on. The poem belittles us in a way, because, despite of our so called "advances" in society, we have not benefited anybody but ourselves. We detach ourselves from Earth, and create artificial substitutes. For example, the light bulb instead of sunlight, etc. Ultimately, we have not left a footprint in Nature. And when "soft rains" come and destory the physical evidence of our presence, Spring herself when she wakes at dawn, will scarcely know that we were gone.

Actally I think that the poem has two levels. The first "surface" level is concerned with Man's ignorance to the nature around. Thus, when he dies nothing will care about his disappearing because even when he was alive, he was like the absent present. On a deeper analysis to the poem, it may be considered as a reflection to the poet's life - hard life. She suffered from weak physical state, begane going to school when she was about 9 years old, and finally died by taking an over-doze of sleeping pills. In other words, she didn't feel that important in life. She didn't believe that she had a role and that she could affect people. She was almost sure that her death won't make that great difference. She felt that her absence won't cause a void in the world.

This poem speaks to the rift between ourselves and nature. It spekas to the disconnect between all things natural and all things human. Whiel we take small delights in soft rains, swallows, frogs, trees, and birds, they take little regard of us becuase we are out of touch with all things devine.
So while we know and miss becuase we operate out of our minds and have lost contact with our innermost selves, we miss all when gone. We consider ourselves evolved above all else while those less evolved surely have us beaten. They get it that all that matters is the essnece of being. All that glitters is not gold and Bradbury was right "there will come soft rains when all is done, all is done.
All that's natural will not noyice when we are gone and I wonder if we notice anything at all beyound what we can touch.
This poem reminds me of the bear inthe wilderness of the falling tree that are even though no one is around to take note.
