Many people see spring as a season of extraordinary beauty, and it is, even if they never take the time to thank the creator for the majesty he has put into our world. This poem is about the fact that we, as people, would like to have a spring without fights or wrong doings. We should enjoy the simple things in life. Just as spring passes, just as the joyful moments of our lives can pass. We ask God to give us the perfect spring and in return we will give Him thanks. In the poem “Prayer in Spring” by Robert Frost, the importance of living in the moment and being grateful for the gifts God has blessed us with is expressed through the use of similes, metaphors, and imagery. Frost uses a plethora of figurative language to help express the theme of “A Prayer in Spring.” Two very strong similes are used in this poem. Towards the beginning of the poem Frost uses the simile "[a]nd give us not to think so far / as the uncertain harvest" (lines 2/3). Here the thought so far away is compared to the uncertain harvest. From my point of view, “so far away” speaks of the future, which is an unknown and unpredictable place, as is the uncertain harvest. If a harvest is uncertain it means that we don't know how it will go. The crop may never realize its full potential, so it is unpredictable. Going back to this quote, Robert Frost is trying to say that it is important not to think about the future and live in the moment enjoying the gifts that God has given us. “Oh give us pleasure in the white orchard/ [l]ike nothing else by day, like ghosts by night” (5/6) this quote is not only a simile used to describe the orchard but is also an antithesis. First of all, the white of the orchard is compared to nothingness... middle of paper... in a positive way, but Frost is keen to show the bees as something "happy". The poem sees bees not as something chaotic but simply as creatures going about their daily routine. Through the use of similes, metaphors, and imagery Robert Frost shows us why we should be grateful to God for all the beauty of spring. Frost used all of these literary devices to further the central message of the poem. This poem can also show us being grateful for the beauty and majesty of spring. It sends a positive message about life and reminds us that everything is in God's hands. This poem clearly shows our dependence on God and our gratitude for his creations. Works Cited Peters, Tim.
