Interpretation
The lines envision an idealized future—“golden days” that are not merely pleasant but “fruitful of golden deeds,” suggesting that true prosperity is measured by virtuous action. The triumph of “Joy and Love” frames moral and emotional renewal as the highest social good, implying a world reordered away from conflict and toward benevolence. In Miltonian terms, such language often resonates with providential hope and the aspiration toward a restored harmony (whether civic, spiritual, or pastoral). Without a verified textual location, however, any more specific reading (e.g., whether the speaker is prophetic, pastoral, or political) would be speculative.
