Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -How can we infer that the Grasshopper enjoys performing his duties in summer? Who steps in his shoes to carry on the poetry of earth? What effect do the latter create on a human being?

In The Poetry of Earth’ Keats unfolds the never-ending poetry of Nature. In the octave, the poet draws a picture of the summer season where the birds, being exhausted, take rest under the cool shade of the trees. It is only the Grasshopper who cheerfully moves from hedge to hedge and continues his song of summer. Nothing can dampen his spirit and he brings joy and life when the whole countryside looks tired. When he feels exhausted he rests beneath, ‘some pleasant weed’. His enjoyment in summer is distinctly expressed in the octave of the poem.

The Cricket steps into the Grasshopper’s shoes to carry on the poetry of earth.

In winter, when the world lies motionless under the thick layers of snow the Cricket’s song is heard which breaks the icy silence of a melancholic winter evening and carries on the poetry of earth. A human being, who is ‘half lost’ in drowsiness mistakes the Cricket’s song to be the Grasshopper’s and enjoys it.
