Compared to Wordsworth's earlier work, it shows a shift towards a more mature and reflective tone, with a focus on the interplay between past, present, and future. It also incorporates elements of nostalgia and regret for the passing of time. The poem's structure is cyclical, beginning and ending with the image of Yarrow Stream. This circularity suggests the cyclical nature of time and the idea that even as time passes, certain things remain constant. Throughout the poem, Wordsworth explores the theme of memory and the power of the past to shape the present. He reflects on the ways in which the memories of past experiences can both comfort and burden us. He also explores the idea that the past can continue to live on in the present, through the power of memory and imagination. The poem's language is simple and direct, yet it contains a richness and depth of imagery that evokes the beauty of the natural world and the complexity of human emotion. Overall, "Yarrow Revisited" is a poignant and moving meditation on the passage of time, the power of memory, and the enduring beauty of nature.
