The expression ‘springing of the year’ refers to the beginning of the season of planting and tending- a season of new birth. Robert Frost tells us that we should live in the moment and learn not to focus on the harvest. What message does the poet convey in the first stanza? Express your views.

Answer»

In the first stanza, the poet says that we should enjoy the pleasures of today without worrying about what will happen in the future. It is the beginning of the Spring. It is the time to plant and tend the seedlings. We should be happy at what we are doing now and not worry about the harvest that will come months later. These lines remind me of the famous poet Omar Khayyam who wrote: “Dead yesterday, unborn tomorrow/Why fret about them if today be sweet?” Yes, we should learn to enjoy the present without bothering too much about the unborn tomorrow.
