This poem describes the tropical climate and seasons of Jamaica, which does not experience summer, winter, autumn, or spring like other places. Instead, it has periods of intense sunshine and rain throughout the year. The poem focuses on the beauty of nature in Jamaica during times of flowering mango and logwood trees, buzzing bees, swaying grass, and ground covered with yellow buttercups.
