मूल कविता

"Have you seen the orchard, Will? "Have you felt its luring thrill? "Have you seen the orchard, Will? "For I see its vision, still." Apples fall to grounds untrod By the will of none but God Apples fall to grounds untrod Glowing red upon the sod. "Have I seen the orchard, Jake? "Have I dreamt before I wake? "Have I seen the orchard, Jake? "There is nothing more to take." Apples fall to grounds betrod By the will of none but God Apples fall to grounds betrod Rotting brown upon the sod.

अनुवाद

Did you see the orchard, Will? Did you feel its exciting pull? Did you see the orchard, Will? Because I still picture it. Apples drop to untouched ground By God's will alone Apples drop to untouched ground Shining red on the soil. Did I see the orchard, Jake? Did I dream before waking? Did I see the orchard, Jake? There's nothing left to take. Apples drop to walked-on ground By God's will alone Apples drop to walked-on ground Turning brown on the soil.

व्याख्या

The poem uses the imagery of an orchard to explore themes of beauty, decay, and existential reflection. It begins with a dialogue between two characters, Will and Jake, who discuss their experiences with the orchard. The orchard symbolizes a place of natural beauty and allure, as well as a site of inevitable decay. The repetition of apples falling 'by the will of none but God' suggests a meditation on fate and the natural order. The contrast between 'grounds untrod' and 'grounds betrod' highlights the passage of time and the change from untouched beauty to decay. This reflects on life's transient nature and the inevitability of change and loss.
