The poem "Leisure" is a thought provoking poem. It deals with the beauty of nature that is spread all around us. The poet deplores the sad fact of the life of the modern man that he has got no time to stand for a while and enjoy the beauty of nature which is present everywhere all around him. He is so busy in his material pursuits that he unable to enjoy the smile and dance of Beauty incarnate that is present there all the time in his neighborhood.
The theme of the poem is very serious and it has been expressed in a very sentimental and straightforward manner. The poet is very sincere in his appeal and at once influences our inner-self. The imagery of the nature in general has been used to make the theme more clearly to us. The grasses, the forest, the squirrel, the nuts, the stream, the daylight, the stars, the sky, the beauty incarnate supply a rich imagery to the poem. "Beauty" has been personified and different details have been sweetly and influentially added to the metaphor. Feet, lips, smiles, dance, all make the beauty fully embodied.
It is a short lyric that gives expression to the personal and serious but tender ideas of the poet. The meter of the poem is fully suited to the ideas. Both have a natural flow. The poet has been written in iambic tetrameter. Each line consists of eight syllabuses, four feet and most of the lines are end-stopped, without enjambment.
