The poem describes different seasons and weather conditions, and how in each one the speaker felt different emotions, but remembers that someone was always there to comfort or help them. In winter they felt scared but the person comforted them. In summer they felt like dying from the heat but the person cooled them. In autumn they felt like cracking but the person combined them. In spring they felt bound but the person freed them. In the rain they felt wet but the person dried them. Finally in dreams they felt nourished and flying, and still remember the person was there.
