Summary of the poem
“Everyone is born equally capable but lacks
equal opportunities”
This poem is composed by W.H.Davies.
He was born in wales England. Nature and problems of the poor are his favourite
subjects. There is no denying the fact that enjoying equal opportunities to
prove one’s mettle ensures the smooth flow of things in a society. When the
upper hand take care of the lower hand, there comes a sense of social security
and satisfaction among the needy. This is the lesson that the poet wants to
impart to us.
The poet has paid rich tributes to the
nature. The objects of nature attract the poet. He has delicately described the
natural moments of the rain when the rain drops fall on the leaves of the
trees, they start shining brightly. The top leaves symbolize the rich people,
whom Allah has bestowed with countless blessings. These people are very miser.
They give alms to the poor in little amount. The poet feels very exalted in
this melodious atmosphere After the rain stops the sun comes out. It imparts
rays to every dark thing. Every thing looks very fresh, bright and lovely. Sun
is the symbol of kindness, life and glory. The natural sight of the poem gives
great pleasure. The inequality in the society is very painful for the poet. The
deep concern for the poor and love for nature are beautifully described in the
theme of the poem. The poet hopes that there would be equality in the society just
like the sunshine which spreads all over the world equally. This sunshine is
both for the dark round drops and rich green leaves.
The simple and spontaneous mood of
expression has made the poem adorable. The musical quality of the poem is
appealing. The poet has conveyed his message in a didactic manner. The diction
simply suits the spontaneous flow of the peom.
A wondrous light will fill
Each dark, round drop,
I hope the sunshines bright;
It will be a lovely sight.
