- Syllabic meter – every line is a particular syllable
- 30th birthday realises that he is joining a new phase of his life – entering the
autumn of his life

- No mention of other children – nature became his playmates and he identified
with it.
- He can still see his youth – summer on the hill
- Nature becomes the mechanism for him to move to a new timeframe
- He is almost looking on at the experience – distances himself and mentions
his young self as ‘he’ – becomes an enriching experience.
