The poem is about the winter landscape and the arrival of spring.
Explanation:
- The speaker stops by a landscape during winter. The speaker provides descriptions of "broad muddy fields browning with dried weeds." The repetition of the color brown continues and the speaker comments on "dead brown leaves" hanging from the trees.
- The poet uses noun phrases in the poem. leaves are “dead” and the vines “leafless.”
- The poet uses personification and spring is personified as "sluggish" and "dazed". He says the spring enters like a foreiger and says how the landscape changes. The environment is described as a "naked" newborn fresh from the womb arriving into a confusing world.
This scroll shows and illustrates a very delicate and intense emotional scene from "The Tale of Genji". The illustration shows prince being sad while holding the baby as he knows that the baby is not his son but the child's father is in fact Genji's nephew.

It seems like she is stressed and worried about her current situation, but trying her best to stay positive and protect her family.
Hope this helps!
