Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky; The dew shall weep thy fall tonight, For thou must die.

About This Quote

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,The bridal of the earth and sky;The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,For thou must die. The above poem is written by William Blake. He wrote this about an insect that is dying of cold. This poem is very descriptive of the arctic tundra during winter.

The tundra is very harsh on everything that lives on it. It can be rather lonely on the tundra because there are only a few species on it. This lack of diversity forces these species to rely on each other for survival.

So they rely on each other to keep them warm on the tundra. Most of the time there are no predators or other threats to stop them from getting food or shelter.
