By Chazza, Neester & Hammy

2 Decay verb - cause to rot or decompose - fall into disrepair; deteriorate. This is a reoccurring theme in Morgan’s Poem, he uses the theme of decay to convey that Winter is a time of deterioration and without life.

3 Quote 1 “The year goes, the wood decays, and after, many a summer dies” This suggests that Winter is a time of departure and loss The personification of summer also shows the lack of light and energy winter brings , showing that the world is losing warmth. the use of summer also contrasts with the poems title.

4 Quote 2 “the woods that fall, decay and break,”
This suggests that winter is a powerful force that it causes damage and distress, This quote also conveys the idea of a slow death as well as nature and humanity losing power and strength to the season.

5 Conclusion Morgan’s overall message is how winter is a time of isolation and loneliness. Winter is seen as a powerful force which brings along death and decay as well as portraying time as passing slowly. The feelings and emotions winter brings ,overcomes humanity and takes a hold on life.
