The Grasshopper
The character of grasshopper and his habits of enjoying the blessings of summer are present in the first five stanzas of the poem. The joys of earth and air are completely to his disposal, he welcomes the sun and bathes in its beams. This enjoyment lasts only until the sharp wind and the cold arrives and the flowers and grass are shaved off.
The speaker of the poem/poet and his friend/Mr. Charles Cotton
In the second part of the poem the speaker of the poem begins to talk about his own and his friend's experience as poets, having the whole world at their poetic disposal but themselves. In spite of the frozen fate, or death, they will create and eternal summer, their flame will burn forever.
