    The poem describes how nature will continue on after mankind has perished from the earth. Soft rains will fall, swallows will circle making their sounds, frogs will sing at night, and trees will bloom white as spring arrives, with robins wearing their bright feathers. Not one creature, whether bird or tree, will notice or care that humanity is gone when war finally ends, as nature would scarcely know the difference if humans suddenly disappeared entirely.

    There Will Come Soft Rains

    Sara Teasdale - 1884-1933


    (War Time)

    There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
    And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

    And frogs in the pools singing at night,


    And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

    Robins will wear their feathery fire


    Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

    And not one will know of the war, not one


    Will care at last when it is done.

    Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree


    If mankind perished utterly;

    And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,


    Would scarcely know that we were gone.
