The Flower of George Herbert (Theme)

‘The Flower’ by George Herbert describes how the changing of the seasons impacts a speaker’s outlook on life and relationship with God. The poem begins with the speaker celebrating the arrival of spring. This is something, he relishes every year as it brings about a great mental and emotional transformation during present starta. During the winter months, like a flower, he is shriveled up in the ground finding comfort where he can. When spring comes, life improving and God’s opinion of the world improves, he grows up towards heaven. This is his most important goal in life, to prove himself to God. The speaker imagines what it will be like in heaven and knows that he would do anything to get there. He doesn’t imagine there could be anyone of the planet feeling any differently than he. He did so what he wanted in his life to prove himself as a super thought.
