Substance of the poem : At the day’s end when a fond mother takes her child to bed, he is unwilling and reluctant. He wants to play more with his broken playthings. His mother promises to give him more splendid playthings but he is not comforted.
Nature in the same manner takes away our playthings one by one and leads us into an unknown world. Nature does this so gently that we can’t understand where we are going. We don’t know how great and vast the unknown world is.
Title of the poem: In the poem Nature the poet shows nature’s subtle workings on human beings. Here nature is personified. It shows how nature with her magic spell makes us forgetful of all earthly possessions and leads us to eternal sleep. Nature is the key note of the poem. Hence the title is quite justified.
