This makes the poem more vivid and engaging, helping readers imagine nature as alive and expressive. It also creates a magical and peaceful atmosphere, allowing readers to connect emotionally with the scene. Overall, personification enhances the meaning of the poem by making it more imaginative and enjoyable to read.
