1. Write the substance of the poem ‘The Poetry of Earth’.
Ans: ‘The Poetry of Earth’ is composed by a brilliant poet of English literature, John Keats. The poetry of earth means the music in Nature. Nature is full of music and it never stops. In summer, the sun makes all the birds tired. So they stop singing and take shelter under the cool shade of trees. At this moment the Grasshopper takes the lead. He becomes the poet of summer by chirping merrily from hedge to hedge. His song expresses immense joy. The sound of the Grasshopper fills the air and shows the luxury of summer. When he is tired, he takes rest beneath a pleasant weed to regain energy and continue his song again.
The poetry of earth doesn’t cease even in winter. In such a quiet, frosty winter evening the Cricket keeps the music of earth alive. It becomes the poet of the winter. Its song brings warmth and joy to the earth. To a person sitting half-asleep near the fireplace, the Cricket’s song seems to be a continuation of Grasshopper’s song among some grassy hills.
