"Country Scene" Paragraph

The author is trying to tell us readers, that everything fades or lasts forever. “The waterfall plunges in mist” meaning that a strong waterfall full of water will fade and turn into mist. “the long white river sliding through” meaning that this will last forever never ending going on and on. “just like love. Poetry only lasts.” Meaning, that love will go and that the words of this poem will always be the same. By reading this poem to my understanding the author is trying to show us that things like waterfalls, shadows, a horns echo, and love will fade. As desolate land, a long white river, and poetry will last forever.
