By using this means, he tries to highlight what is the need of the hour. In this poem, he uses several ideas to bring home his point. Herbert’s poem is about the importance of nourishing virtue in a person’s soul.
It chiefly lives even though the whole world turns to coal. At the end of the poem, Herbert says the virtue of one’s soul is everlasting. The season comes for a short period of time each year.
It means that the flower will also die in the future.
A rose which bids a rash gazer wipe his eye, its root is embedded in one’s grave. Though it is so cool, calm, and bright, in the eve its beauty fades away. This poem begins with a reference to the “sweet day”. ‘Virtue’ by Geroge Herbert describes how the day, rose, and spring, all the beautiful things of nature, are inconstant in comparison to “a sweet and virtuous soul”.
