5. The syntactical level

The syntactic constructions are not really varied: mostly compound sentences, with parallel ‘S + P’ arrangement.

6. Conclusion

This atmospheric poem was apparently meant as an exercise in the art, like an etude in music, and as such, does not aspire after lofty ideas or offer deep insights. What it does put on display, however, is the poet’s skill in capturing the mood infused by nature. It is heavy on verbal imagery, which makes the lexical SDs by far the most elaborate ones. By many it is viewed as an exquisite verbal painting, akin to the impressionist school, and should be simply enjoyed as one.
