Lowell describes the happiness that a day in June brings. He uses symbolism and descriptive imagery to illustrate all of the visual joys of nature. Using personification, he vividly describes the beauty of the birds, plants, and sky. Lowell continues to persuade that summer is the superlative of all seasons.
"Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how."
"'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true
As for grass to be green, or skies to be blue."
James Russell Lowell
"Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind."

The meaning behind "What Is So Rare As A Day In June" is to express the great riot and amusement of a warm, humid, green, summer day in June.
The warmth of the fire, the light that it brings
Hearing the crickets, and the songs that they sing
My friends all around me, sharing tales of their days
While the fire that unites us, it still captures my gaze
We forget the winter that is surely long gone
And instead enjoy the aroma of a freshly cut lawn
We make our last wishes, upon the stars
As the musicians conclude the eve, with their guitars
As the fire dies, we crawl into our tents
Hoping to relive today’s events!
