In
this 14 lined poem,
the poet addresses Heaven in the first two lines. He states that if Heaven does not exist on Earth, where else can it be. One need not have to look for Heaven in the skies, when it exists here on earth says the poet. The poet tries to argue that the concepts like’Heaven’ ‘God’ and the ‘Nymphs’ are created by man. It is simply man’s imagination. Therefore, man himself is God and so also the heavenly nymphs. They are not elsewhere best here on earth.
The poet wants to dismiss the belief that God and nymphs live in heaven and people go to heaven after then death and find the God and nymphs there. In the next stanza , the poet describes ‘the splendor of Nature’ and makes us appreciate and enjoy the heavenly bliss, when we are alive. When one looks at the streams roaring and leaping down from the top of the hills , the waves that roll across the sea carrying surf at their edges, the tender rays of sunlight falling on verdant gardens and the gentle sun warming up the earth reflect ‘Heaven’.
The splendor of harvest and the moonlight nights creates a picture of ‘Nature’ in its pristine form The poet who imbibes this heavenly bliss can spread the nectar of ‘Heaven’ through his poetry on the earth.
Natural things appear to be more beautiful than imaginary things. Therefore, the poet is of the opinion that ‘Heaven’ exists only on the earth and nowhere else. The so called pleasures of heaven could be very
well obtained on earth, when one enjoys and experiences.
