The poem is a warning to the Man that nature is crying and dying due to his activities. We have rockets and factories with high chimneys, yet we are polluting the seas and we use coal in furnaces. This is the proof of our carelessness and indifference to Nature. We cut trees and nature cry; we burn coal and nature cry. But we do not bother to stop. We let the time pass as it passes.
