Its undertones expose extremely thoughtful poem on mortality and change, in fact the poem is allusive .its exact allusions remain obscure ,learning it open some interpretation .These theme ,among others are present through the wide use of imagery (The term is one of the most variable in meaning. Its applications range all the way from the &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;ldquo;mental pictures &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;ldquo; which, it is sometimes claimed are experienced by the reader of a poem, to the totality of components which make up a poem)written in a single stanza of forty-two lines the poem is composed in loose iambic pentameter (alternating stressed and unstressed syllables in a ten syllable line),it is also written in rhyme ,albeit loosely the effect of this relaxed structure lends the poem a less formal and more conversational feel .Its descriptive language underlying composition maintain a distinctively poetic tone.
