Everybody was taken, birth is going to die. So every stage has their own mood,color& shades of life., Opinion about the poem For my point view, It has a philosophical value. It teaches me a lesson that life and, death are two sides of the same coin. We should enjoy the both sides and shouldn't, get bothered about death.
