The theme of darkness pervades "Evening" in both literal and symbolic ways. On a concrete level, the speaker is describing the daily waning of light that occurs between early dusk and nightfall, and the aesthetic and physical effects this process has on ridges and flowers. However, H.D. is known as a highly figurative poet, and this poem's reliance on the human visual perspective, as well as frequent personification of her natural subjects, suggests nightfall's undeniable relevance for humanity. In other words, nightfall can function as an allegory or symbol for similar "fading" processes of the human experience, such as loss, forgetting, repression, and death. The speaker draws the reader into these interpretive possibilities by bridging the gap between natural objects and humans—her diction humanizing the shadows, leaves, and flowers.

The poem is quite silent and majourly talking about birds and athore animals. The poet wants to simply describe a quite silent evening. He has talked about ANIMALS , like how they preapare themselves with food in evening. And how the fields belong to the invisible presence of god after the sun sets... IN simple words we can say that the poet has only a described a painting which he has made and has added few more lines to make beautiful .
