The primary idea of creation is happiness. Masefield in this poem reminds us that sorrow or unhappiness is a passing thing; what is lasting and universal is joy.Life is not a bed of roses. In moments of trials and tribulation, men will do well to have recourse to nature which is an embodiment of God's beauty and grandeur.
The poet advises us to laugh and be merry. He say :-----------remember, better the world with a song. Better the world with a blow in the teeth of the wrong.”Man should face the trials, life casts in his way with determination without relinquishing to dejection. The duration's of man's life on Earth is short.So he should make use of his short, brief stay on Earth by laughing away his troubles and sorrows. Man should remember, how in olden times, God created Heaven and Earth
for giving joy to him. He shaped with the sweet pattern of music and filled them with intoxicating wine, namely his extreme joy and delight.As the very purpose of God is to provide men with joy, man must laugh and drink the joy of the sky from the deep blue cup. He mus join in the chorus of the merry song of the stars in their orbits. Man must fight against difficulties and be happy in his work.He must draw happiness and inspiration from everything around him.The joy of life is the very basis of our brotherhood and mutual love. Man must live happily with his fellowmen like brothers residing in an inn. He must play the game of life cheerfully and pass through the journey of joy till he reaches his ultimate goal
or destination
