Nature by H.D. Carberry

We have neither Summer nor Winter

Neither Autumn nor Spring.

We have instead the days

When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields-

Magnificently.

The days when the rain beats like bullet on the roofs

And there is no sound but thee swish of water in the gullies

And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.

Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees

And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.

But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood
blossom

When bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey,

When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air,

When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars

And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.

Lines 1 to 10
The poet tells about his homeland , Jamaica and rejoices the beauty
of this island. Jamaica has no seasonal changes. It has a tropical
climate which is hot and wet throughout the year. The days of
golden sunshine are glorious and magnificent. The are many
canefields in Jamaica as sugar is one of the main exports in this
country.
Lines 11 to 15
In the ending of the poem, the poet tells us his favourite time days
when the flowers of mango trees and logwood blossom. He uses
imagery of sound and smell to illustrate abundant life and activity
in the bushes when the sound of bees and the scent of honey add to
the charm and beauty if Jamaica. He describes the fields filled with
lovely yellow buttercups. All this happens when the rains have
stopped and the beauty if nature emerges once again.
