In
the two poems the role of nature is used very different but also
similar. In the poem “Come up to the field” the use of imagery
helps the reader paint a picture in his mind of the calm Ohio autumn
day. Then this peaceful setting is abruptly changed when the letter
about the son arrives.
In
“There Will Come Soft Rains” the use of imagery is also present
to picture the smell of rain and ground, the sound of nature, birds
and frogs singing at night. Then goes to include personification of
spring bringing the idea that nature would not notice if we perished.
Life on earth would keep on moving.
I
hope it helps, Regards.
