A Fine Day is a very short poem written by the Elizabethan writer Michael Drayton.
Clear had the day been from the dawn,
All chequer'd was the sky,
Thin clouds like scarfs of cobweb lawn
Veil'd heaven's most glorious eye.
This short poem describes the wonderful morning of European countries. Because for them it is 'Good Morning !' The sun hardly appears in the sky, and we know the importance of the sun. Here poet tells that from dawn the sky is clear, which makes them happy as they can go outside on the hills for the fun. Moreover, poet compares this sight with the clouds who had been playing the role of scarf for the sun. But now these clouds have veiled the heaven's most glorious eye ( Sun ! ) getting away from the sun.
The wind had no more strength than this,
That leisurely it blew,
To make one leaf the next to kiss
That closely by it grew.
In the second stanza poet describes the motion of wind, which is very much favourable to enjoy the nature. We can say that now wind is turned into breeze, which helps leaves to kiss each other ! As we have discussed earlier that it is all about enjoying the weather, same way poet has offered humanly emotions to the leaves.
