The poet says that beautiful things are sources of eternal joy. Otherwise Life is full of sadness and gloom. It is the beautiful things like the sun, the moon, trees, flowers and other forms of nature and art that provide solace to human beings. They help him come to terms with life. The poem has been prescribed in the course of class XII by Central Board of Secondary Education in India. Please feel free to share your feedback of listening on [email protected].
