I believe that this poem has to do with emotions rather than physical seasons. To me, it seems like the poets is recounting a love story of his. He met a woman (presumably), and fell in love with her. The first verse talks about how his feelings were in full bloom. The green leaves in spring. By the second verse, the love has taken him completely, and has developed into a passion. The verse indicates passion and innocence by the colors red and white, and the beauty of his lover that he noticed from first sight. He has fallen head over heels in love with her. The third verse show us how his love is too immense to show with words, and how much it’s impossible to describe. But the last verse however, shows us how their love has broken apart. She has left him, and he wishes she would return. The “dove” in the poem is the lover. The first three verses talk about how she is beautiful and that her love and herself are golden. The last verse tells us how the dove is gone, and that the love or the woman is broken. She has been lost to him, and he wishes she would come back.

    "Hope" is the thing with feathers-
    That perches in the soul-
    And sings the tune without the words-
    And never stops-at all-
