Three Years She Grew Summary in English :- What is the summary of the poem three years she grew?


Summary-William Wordsworth was one of the Romantic poets of England. He published his masterpiece, the long autobiographical poem, 'The Prelude' in 1805. He became a poet

Laureate in 1843. While living in the Lake District he composed his famous Lucy poems. The subject of his poems are the beauty and mystery of Nature, the intimate relationship between Nature and Man and the lives of the simple rustics. He usually looks upon Nature as he does in 'Three Years She Grew' which forms a part of the celebrated series of the Lucy poems.


William Wordsworth's Lucy was a real girl of flesh and blood. Thus the poem is based on the life of the girl. Nature is a great teacher. In society a person is in chains but in Nature, he is free. Nature is an open-air school as well as a teacher. The poet opines that Nature will take care of Lucy. She had spent her three years under the sun and the shower. She had moved on the hills and down the valleys. She ran and played like a fawn. Presently she has developed into a beautiful maiden. Her beauty is natural. Soon she will grow up into a lady with the most attractive appearance.


But unfortunately Lucy died untimely and her memory only remains in the mind of the poet.


Three Years She Grew Summary in Hindi :-

सारांश— विलियम वर्डसवर्थ इंग्लैंड के एक कल्पनाशील कवि थे । उन्होंने 'दी प्रील्यूड' शीर्षक जैसी लम्बी आत्म-कथात्मक कविता 1805 ई. में प्रकाशित किया था जो उनकी श्रेष्ठकृति है। 1843 ई. में वे राष्ट्र कवि बने। अपनी प्रसिद्ध 'लूसी' कविताएँ उन्होंने 'लेक ड्रीसट्रिक्ट' में रहते समय रचना की थी । उनकी कविताओं की विषय-सामग्री प्रकृति की सुन्दरता और रहस्य है तथा प्रकृति और मानव के बीच घनिष्ठ सम्बन्ध एवं सामान्य ग्रामीणों का जीवन - यापन दर्शाती है। वह सामान्यतः प्रकृति को वैसे ही देखते हैं जैसा कि श्री यर्स शी ग्रीयू में, जो कि लूसी कविताओं के क्रम में रचित किए गए थे। विलियम वर्डसवर्थ की लूसी एक वास्तविक लड़की थी उसके जीवन पर यह कविता आधारित है। प्रकृति एक महान शिक्षक है। समाज में व्यक्ति बंधन में होता है किन्तु प्रकृति में वह स्वतन्त्र होता है। प्रकृति स्वयं एक मुक्त विद्यालय और शिक्षक है। कवि की राय में प्रकृति लूसी की देखभाल करेगा जहाँ खुले आकाश के नीचे धूप और बारिश के बीच तीन वर्ष उसने व्यतीत किये हैं। वह पहाड़ियों तथा घाटियों में विचरण करती रही है। वह एक मृग शावक की भाँति दौड़ी और खेली है। वर्तमान में वह धीरे-धीरे सुन्दर बनती जा रही है। उसकी सुन्दरता प्राकृतिक है। शीघ्र ही वह एक आकर्षक नयनाभिराम महिला बन जाएगी। परन्तु दुर्भाग्य से लूसी असमय में कालग्रस्त हो गई। कवि की स्मृति में सिर्फ उसकी याद रह गई है।

C.1. LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS :

Q. 1. What does Nature decide about Lucy? Give details:

Ans. The poem 'Three Years She Grew' is composed by William Wordsworth. After Lucy grew and spent three years in sun and shower Nature thinks that no flower has ever grown so beautiful on the earth. He decides to take special care for her. He will keep her beside him (Nature). Nature teaches her everything needed for growth, because it is her teacher. She enjoyed the rock and wide field. She felt the pleasures of Nature in every object. Now she will learn from the fawn to be sportive and the floating clouds will lend her grace. Nature will develop the girl to her maiden form.


Q. 2. Describe the process by which Nature intends to mould Lucy's character and her outward form?

Ans. Nature intends to mould Lucy's character and her outward form. It will be done through gradual growth in grace and maidenhood. She had already spent three years in sun and shower and developed like a lovely flower ever sown on the earth. She would look over the brightness of light. She would be sportive like the fawn. She runs fast on the lawns. Sometimes she would enjoy the mountain springs and the sweet fragrance in silence and calm there. She would not fail to see the floating clouds even admist the motion of the storm. Grace shall mould the maiden's form of the girl, by its silent sympathy with her.

So Nature intends to take care of the girl and transform her to her maiden's form. These are the two objectives of Nature.


Q. 3. What are the main ideas contained in the poem ? 

Ans. See the summary.

Q. 4. What did Lucy leave to the speaker ?

Ans. Lucy had spent three years in the sun and shower. She Spent her early days in the lap of Nature. Such a beautiful child had never been born on earth. Spending her childhood days with the objects of Nature she had acquired her maiden's form. The speaker had loved her and wanted to remain with her. He had big hopes and great expectations. But unfortunately she did not live long. Lucy died young. Now she will never be seen in her sportive and jubiliant gestures. So only her sweet memory will  remain in the speaker's mind.


Q. 5. Give a critical estimate of the poem "Three Years She Grew".

Ans. 'Three Years She Grew' is an extract from Wordsworth's long autobiographical poem 'The Prelude'. It presents a description of the intimate relationship between Nature and Man. The poem begins with the beautiful gift of Nature. It describes Lucy's childhood. Lucy became young in due course and was moulded in the maiden's form in the lap of Nature. But she did not live long. All of a sudden she died, leaving her memory. It shows the mortality" of human life. It also indicates that glamour is temporal and all beautiful things will have to fade away.

The poem 'Three Years She Grew' is a fine creation of William Wordsworth. The poem is full of similes, metaphors and personifications. In the second stanza of the poem the poet says, 'she shall be sportive as the fawn'. Lucy has been compared to a young deer. She is playful like a fawn.

In the first stanza of the poem 'A lovelier flower' is used metaphorically. Personification is throughout used in the poem. 'Nature' in the poem is personified. 'Nature' is the speaker in the poem. Nature is used as a teacher in the poem.

                               The title of the poem is not appropriate 'Three years she grew forms only the first half of the first line of the poem. Some editors have rightly used 'The Education of Nature' as the title of the poem.



Q. 6. Find out instances of simile in the poem.

Ans. A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares, wo seemingly unlike things using words such as 'like' or 'as',

e.g. 'My love is like a red, red rose.

There are many instances of simile in the poem.

A lovelier flower/On earth was never sown:..... In the above line Lucy has been compared with a lovelier flower. The poet says that such a lovelier flower like Lucy was never seen on the earth.

Again in the second stanza Lucy has been compared with the kindle. Lucy is present everywhere in earth and Heaven, in forest and garden. She is just like kindle that gives light over rising power. Lucy has been compared with the kindle. 

In the third stanza as well, there is use of simile. Lucy is very playful. She plays in the forest like a fawn. Here Lucy has been compared with a beautiful young deer.


In the fourth stanza Lucy's beauty, simplicity and innocence has been compared with 'the floating clouds' and 'the storm'. The dignity of floating clouds shall bend her. The motions of the 'the storm' can never check the glamour of Lucy.

So, William Wordsworth has very successfully used similes in his poem 'Three Years She Grew'.


Q. 7. Find out the instances of metaphor in the poem.

Ans. A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, usually implied, between two seemingly unlike things.

In the poem 'Three Years She Grew' there are several instances of metaphor. In the first stanza 'A lovelier flower' is used metaphorically. The attributes of a flower are seen in Lucy.

In the same way, in the second stanza, 'The Kindle' is used metaphorically in the poem. Lucy has been compared with 'The kindle or restrain' that denotes light, beauty, power and so on.


In the third stanza the playfulness of Lucy is also presented metaphorically. Lucy is as playful as the young deer.

In the fourth stanza 'The floating clouds', 'the storm' have been used metaphorically. Lucy has been compared with the floating clouds and the storm.


Q. 8. Can you find instances of personification in the poem ?

Ans. Personification is a figure of speech in which an animal, object or idea is described as having human form or characteristics.

In the present poem. 'Three Years She Grew' there is use of personification. In the first stanza Nature is personified. According to the poet, 'Nature' is speaker. Nature has been treated as a living being in the poem.
