In the continuous singing the cricket goes warn to warmer. And one who is in
the effect of drowsiness and lost half in sleep will mistake the sound to be
grasshopper’s which is singing from some grassy hills.

THEME OF THE POEM

That nature is always a spontaneous source of optimism and happiness
is the theme of the poem. Nature never imparts pessimism and is never sad.
Nature is always singing through the mediums like grasshopper in summer
and cricket in winter. Change in situation on weather does not bring
hindrances in the ever continuous mirth of nature.
