Written in March Poem Summary in English
The poets begin the poem with the crowing of cock which marks the beginning of the day. The stream of water is flowing while the birds are chirping around. The lake glitters as the sun moves over the green fields. All the people, whether they are old or young are working very hard. They all are very dedicated to their work. The poet described the normal day in the world to show the routine that exists.
The cattle are grazing and they are not raising their heads. Although they are forty in number they look like a single identity. The poet compared snow to a defeated army because it recedes with the onset of the spring season. The hilltops are bare after the snow has retreated and now, they will be covered with a green cover of nature. The ploughboy is extremely happy with this changing season. The mountains and fountains too look cheerful at the coming of the spring season.
The sky is getting clear. Small clouds are floating over it. The days of rain and snow are gone now and days of greenery and flowers have approached.
Written in March Poem Summary in Hindi
कवि कविता की शुरुआत मुर्गे के बांग से करते हैं जो दिन की शुरुआत का प्रतीक है। पानी की धारा बह रही है जबकि पक्षी चहक रहे हैं। जैसे ही सूरज हरे-भरे खेतों में जाता है, झील चमकती है। सभी लोग, चाहे वे बूढ़े हों या जवान, बहुत मेहनत कर रहे हैं। ये सभी अपने काम के प्रति बेहद समर्पित हैं। कवि ने दुनिया में सामान्य दिन का वर्णन उस दिनचर्या को दिखाने के लिए किया है जो मौजूद है।
मवेशी चर रहे हैं और वे सिर नहीं उठा रहे हैं। यद्यपि वे संख्या में चालीस हैं, वे दिखने में एक लगते हैं। कवि ने बर्फ की तुलना एक पराजित सेना से की है क्योंकि यह वसंत ऋतु की शुरुआत के साथ कम हो जाती है। बर्फ के हटने के बाद पहाड़ की चोटियाँ नंगी हो गई हैं और अब, वे प्रकृति के हरे भरे आवरण से ढँक जाएंगी। हल चलाने वाला इस बदलते मौसम से बेहद खुश है। बसंत ऋतु के आगमन पर पहाड़ और फव्वारों में खुशी का ठिकाना नहीं है।
आसमान साफ हो रहा है। उस पर छोटे-छोटे बादल तैर रहे हैं। बारिश और हिमपात के दिन अब चले गए हैं और हरियाली और फूलों के दिन आ गए हैं।
