If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
From "ode to the west wind" to "ode to the west wind", the whole poem consists of five sections, which are always sung around the west wind as a symbol of revolutionary power. The first section describes the power and function of the west wind, and the line 14 points out the destroyer and protector, which are two themes throughout the poem.
Ode to the west wind is one of Shelley's "three great poems", written in 18 19. This poem is a confession of the poet's "arrogant, agile and unruly soul" and a portrayal of the spirit of the times.
The whole poem is divided into five sections, and the rhymes of each section are: aba, bcb, cdc, ded and ee. Here, the west wind has become a symbol, which is an ubiquitous cosmic spirit, a west wind spirit that breaks the old world and pursues a new world. The poet used the west wind as a metaphor to express his belief in life and his determination to declare war on the old world.

Can spring and winter be far behind?
Treat me like your harp, like a bush;
Although my leaves have fallen, what does it matter!
Your extraordinary harmony, generosity and enthusiasm,
Will be able to play a deep autumn rhyme with me from the forest,
Sweet and sad.
Give me your quick energy, angry soul!
Become me, borrow your edge!
Please scatter my dusty thoughts to the universe,
Let it give birth to new life like dead leaves!
Oh, please listen to this incantation poem.
Just put my heart, like ashes and mars,
Spread from the still burning fire to the world!
Let the trumpet of prophecy sound from my mouth,
Wake up the sleeping earth!
Oh, west wind,
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
From Shelley's ode to the west wind.
