Thomas’s Youthful Nostalgia in “Fern Hill”
In “Fern Hill” Dylan Thomas deals with the age-old dilemma of growing up.
Thomas’s youthful, carefree outlook is expressed through his description of the farm
where he spent his youth. The poet uses nine six-line stanzas to illustrate the naiveté he
experienced when he was a boy. Thomas, now a grown man, can tell his readers in
retrospect about his youthful ignorance regarding the process of time.

Although the reader’s childhood experience may not have been spent on a farm,
familiar metaphors of nature make it possible for readers of all backgrounds to relate to
the theme of this poem. Thomas successfully instills a sense of appreciation for the time
spent in youth, and a feeling of nostalgia for the days of youthful bliss lost in the process
of time.
