The poem is basically about a man wanting to accept death as it is. He watches the flowers accept death as nature. He then learns that the flowers are brave as they go back to the earth.

The poem, " A Contemplation upon Flowers" is explaining the life cycle of humans. He tactfully executes his mission by comparing the life cers and humans and the way they view life. It speaks of "brave flowers......."(line 1) giving human qualities to this living yet motionless organism. In stanza 1 it explains the beautiful flower coming from the soil to "make a harmless show. It's about being aware that one day we will all die and that it is a futile illusion to always seek springtime. The flowers are happy even when they lie in the earth while we dread joining them there. The poem questions man's common imagination. I also think this is a devotional poem and asks us to rethink our purposes and turn to goodness.
