Abstract :

Every human life in the World is sheltered by the magnanimous and impeccable service of natural ecosystem. The noble favor which is rendered by nature is free of cost and no man’s labor. Human’s amalgam with nature provides colossal benefits for one’s mental and physical well- being. Ecotherapy is a psychotherapeutic technique which calls environmental intercession to cure from the plights. Poetry is a form of expression which interlaced with nature. When man lies in the lap of nature, it soothes one’s physical, mental and spiritual trauma and instills thought prompting ideas to recover one’s life. This paper is studied how nature takes part in the human’s life and its significant role of therapeutic power which helps man to overwhelm the predicaments and the same is applied in the select poems of Sara Teasdale.
