Warble for Lilac-Time Details

The poem is a song of reminiscence of memories that already passed. Recounting the summer times spent, with the enchanting nature as its gift. Summer is gladly welcomed by children bringing shiny stones and strings of shells as hand crafted necklaces. During summer time, the frogs made a heavy sound in the ponds resonating in the invisible air. The bees, the butterflies, and the birds chant their lovely lyrics in unison. The birds soar high with their big and enormous wings. Summer is experienced with the serenity of the brightness of the sun, with the fishes happily swimming in the glittery waters. It is as if nature has come to life in celebration to the coming of summer. Nature is so much more compatible with summer than with any other seasons.
Warble for Lilac-Time is probably interpreted as the song for summer days. It mentions two seasons which are spring time and summer time. That when the snow melts in March, there will be spring time and in April and May will be summer time. All will rejoice for the lovely season of summer, including man, animals, insects, plants, flowers, trees, leaves, seas, and all others. In consonance with the title, the poem mentions of the lilac-scent compared to innocence that blossoms beautifully.
