The first work of romantic literature
It is romanticizing nature in giving “her” human-like characteristics
It is romanticizing death and making it a comforting thing and a grave thing
Saying that nature will offer you sympathy in the moments when you’re going to die
When you die, you’ll be in a sepulchre with all the other people in the world who have died
There are so many people who are dead under the earth that all the hills, oceans, woods, and rivers are mere “decorations” on the Earth
The swain is the plow that goes across the land and will “go over you” when you die
Says that everyone will die eventually, but everyone will be together when you die
The best thing to do is to trust in life and the journey that it takes you on- even if it ends in death
