Can u help me with this poem???????

Reluctance


Poem lyrics of Reluctance by Robert Frost.








Out through the fields and the woods


And over the walls I have wended;


I have climbed the hills of view


And looked at the world, and descended;


I have come by the highway home,


And lo, it is ended.





The leaves are all dead on the ground,


Save those that the oak is keeping


To ravel them one by one


And let them go scraping and creeping


Out over the crusted snow,


When others are sleeping.





And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,


No longer blown hither and thither;


The last long aster is gone;


The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;


The heart is still aching to seek,


But the feet question 'Whither?'





Ah, when to the heart of man


Was it ever less than a treason


To go with the drift of things,


To yield with a grace to reason,


And bow and accept the end


Of a love or a season?





can you help interpet for me? i have to do a project for it then write a 250 word essay on it, its hard

Can u help me with this poem???????
The pursuit of life and the end of it also. Metaphors from nature to describe the journey and cycle. (The heart is still aching,etc. but the feet, etc.) is describing the body wearing out while the heart still yearns. The last stanza is about fighting and not accepting the inevitable...death with reason as is evident in nature's cycle.
Reply:I think he's describing (with great beauty) the simplicity of how nature easily slips into change, and going with the flow of it ....while man fights such things.
Reply:outside i see things





winter





where did nature go?





i philosophize
