Part I
1. Shelley�s poem includes four 3-lined stanzas and a 2-lined conclusion. This form is a Italian Sonnet.
2. The West Wind is mostly associated with the Autumn season.
3. a. �� whose unseen presence the leaves dead are driven�
b. �� like ghost from an enchanter fleeing,��
c. �� Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,��
4. The wind is a wild spirit. Winds may destroy lives like in collapsed telephone poles or sand storms in a desert. It may also preserve life by passing pollen in from flower to flower or circulating pollution throughout the world.
Part II
5. The wind sheds the decaying leaves of a tree, it also provides the movement of clouds where rain, fire, and hail is transported. Winds allow messengers of rain and lightning to suspend in the air where they carry out their jobs.
Part III
6. The wind moves the Mediterranean Sea in which a coil of different shaped streams appear.
7. The Atlantic Ocean can be hear by one �and suddenly grow gray with fear, and tremble and despoil themselves.� Shelley believes that the ocean is more powerful than the wind.
Part IV
8. Shelley is jealous of the wind because it is able to blow dead leaves, fly with the clouds. She is mostly wanting the power of the wind, the uncontrollable strength, and the environmental dependence of wind.
9. The last couplet of the fourth stanza explains how she would like to be like the wind: �tameless, and swift and proud.� Shelley wonders if the wind can lift these things into flight, why can it not also lift her as a wave, a leaf, or a cloud.
Part V
10. The speaker is in longing to be the West Wind's lyre, wind-harp, which becomes one with the forest.
11. Shelley believes that her death could give wither leaves a quickened new birth.
12. �If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?� This last line brings some emphasis on the first line of the poem about Autumn days. It shows a cyclic schedule from season to season.
