A Prayer in Spring

            A prayer in spring, as its title indicates, is a poem which is based on two basic elements: religion and naturalism.
             In fact the poet-presumably a romantic one-by making an interaction between religion and naturalism, is offering a religious theme.
             As it is spring time, every element in the poem is referring to the regeneration of the nature and beside this fertility the speaker being separated as the uncertain harvest is praying to reach his beloved. He is praying to be kept there in the spring of the year along with the fresh flowers, in the orchard white to find happiness in the happy bees dilating round the perfect trees and in the darting bird which is standing in the mid air off a blossom thrusting in white its needle bill.
             The speaker as the uncertain harvest finds pleasure in returning to the nature. And there every element in the nature reminds him of God. Then he remembers to fulfill his duty toward God and asks for his love, for this is love and nothing else is love.
             The speaker in this poem is very sensitive and thougthful.We may regard him as the poet himself, who is offering a religious theme.
             The language he uses is very simple and at the same time very fresh, but there is no great usage of technical terms.
             In my viewpoint, the speaker makes an effective use of visual images to convey his own passion to the readers, but as it mentioned there is no complicated usage of literary elements: simple structure, rhythm and meaning as well.
