“Nature” is what we see-
The Hill- the Afternoon-
Squirrel- Eclipse – The Bumble bee-
Nay- Nature is Heaven-
Nature is what we hear-
The Bobolink – The Sea-
Thunder- the Cricket-
Nay- Nature is Harmony-

2 What images are used to symbolise
nature
Nature is symbolised by simple images of animals (“Squirrel”, “the Bumble bee”, “The Bobolink”, “the Cricket”) and features (“The Hill”, “the Afternoon”, “Eclipse”, “the Sea”, “Thunder”), which are in turn symbolic of the poet’s thoughts and feelings about the simplicity of nature. Nature is also symbolised in a metaphorical sense when it is described as “Heaven” and “Harmony”.
3 What message does the poem try
to convey
The message of the poem is that although what we see and hear in nature appears to be simple, within that simplicity lie great beauty, mystery and magnificence that humans cannot truly appreciate or capture in their art.
