“There Will Come Soft Rains” (Sara Teasdale)
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.

O poema destaca
a ilusão da centralidade do ser humano diante da natureza.
a fragilidade da natureza diante das ações nocivas dos seres humanos.
a desesperança nos seres humanos provocada pelas guerras frequentes.
a destruição de todos os seres no ciclo natural que governa o mundo.
