the nighttime putting of the new season, the spring. The word describes the freshness and
sharpness of the thrush's humming. This freshness is symbolic of the freshness that has
dissolved in the air with the advent of the new season that the poet celebrates. The thrush
sings, sitting in a “laurel-surrounded inside the deep barelawn”. It hums time and again that “it
will be spring soon”. Its singing marks an“outstanding” impact on the brickwork of the houses.

chicken's song and the innocence of the kid. The “fresh-peeled voice” is symbolic of the spring
