Every year, back comes Spring,

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The line observes that spring comes back every year, presenting the season as a reliable cycle of return. Its phrasing, with the verb placed before the season, gives the arrival a rhythmic, almost ceremonial feel, as though renewal were a regular visitor.
