Please give me the summary of following stanzas.

 

1st stanza= the poetry of the earth never dead:

when all the birds are faint with the hot sun,

and hide in cooling trees ,a voice will run

from hedge to hedge about the new-morn mead,

that is the grasshopper,s-he takes the lead

in summer luxury – he has never done

with his delights, for when tired out with fun

he rests at beneath some pleasant weed.

 

2nd stanza= the poetry of earth is ceasing never:

on a lone winter eveving when frost

has wrought a silence, from the stone there shrills

the cricket,s song, in wramth  increasing ever,

and seems to one in drowsiness half lost;

the grasshopper,s among some grassy hills.

 

And please answer immediately

t is a symbolic poem in which the grasshopper is a symbol of hot summer and the cricket is of very cold winter. Every poet has been attracted towards the beauty of nature. John Keats is no exception to this and finds nature beautiful in all seasons not excluding the hot summer and cold winter. He says that the earth is always singing. When the birds stop singing in the hot summer finding cool place, we find the grasshopper singing and flying from hedge. He sings tirelessly and when tired, rests beneath some weed. When the birds are silent in very cold the earth never stops and expresses its pleasure through different beings like the cricket. It sings the beautiful songs from the stones. It seems to be increasing in warmth every moment and half-asleep human being feels it to be a grasshoppers song coming from grassy hills.
