The poet feels great joy when he sees a rainbow in the sky. There was a rainbow when he was born and still it is there in his manhood. He believes that there shall be rainbow in his old age. The poet becomes happy whenever he sees a rainbow in the sky. The poet generalizes that the feeling towards a rainbow is unalterable by age or time. The poet wishes to die if the continuation of nature is broken.
The poet says, “The child is a father of the Man”. It means that the things we do and feel as children affect and control the way we do and feel as adults. In other words, a child of today becomes a man of tomorrow and yesterday’s child is a man of today. It is time that makes a person child, then adult (man) and finally an old man. Or we can also say that present is the outcome (result) of past and future will be the outcome of present. The poet expresses his deep respect to the nature in the final two lines because for him nature is the source of inspiration to write poems and god as well. The poet sees the relationship between man and nature. As he goes on respecting nature, he hopes that god will be with him everyday.
