1. The first stanza sets the scene of a vibrant and saturated meadow, giving the impression of abundance and liveliness.
2. The mention of the sun-shaped and jewel-small objects enhances the sense of brightness and beauty.
3. The circle in the third line emphasizes the contained and compact nature of the meadow.
4. The line about the meadow being scarcely wider than the surrounding trees suggests a sense of intimacy and closeness.
5. The exclusion of winds and the stifling sweet air create a feeling of stillness and calmness.
6. The reference to the breath of many flowers adds to the sensory imagery and intensifies the atmosphere.
7. The phrases "temple of heat" and "we bowed us in the burning" allude to the intensity of the sun's heat and the act of worshipping it.
8. The imagery of picking a thousand orchises, with the implication of abundance, can further enhance the vibrant and enthusiastic mood.
9. The mention of grass scatterd and every second spear tipped with wings of color expresses a sense of movement, beauty, and enchantment.
Putting all of these elements together, the mood created by the imagery in the poem can be described as B) cheerful. The vibrant descriptions, colorful imagery, and references to warmth and abundance contribute to a joyful and positive atmosphere.
