What does Robert Frost's poem Close the Windows mean?

Question:Now close the windows and hush all the fields:
If the trees must, let them silently toss;
No bird is singing now, and if there is,
Be it my loss.

It will be long ere the marshes resume,
I will be long ere the earliest bird:
So close the windows and not hear the wind,
But see all wind-stirred.

But see all wind-stirred.

(Viking - I think the word you need is 'prophet'!)

I don't know whether there is any deep undercurrent here, if there is, it has passed me by.

I am sure the second line of the second verse should be
It will be long ere the earliest bird (not I - that makes no sense)

Superficially this appears to be an attempt to shut out an unpleasant season - autumn? winter?

He would rather stay indoors and watch the silent trees swaying and await the return of the Spring, and the earliest bird (cuckoo) heralding new life.

But, knowing Robert Frost there may be something deeper here.

he is telling everyone to be quiet and shut out all noises, so they can hear him.

He was a profit. He is saying to shut down your computer (Windows). LOL
