Meaning
This can be taken to mean that spring is understood through visible signs, not abstract ideas. The line links changing leaves with a larger sense of return and awakening, so it reads as a simple recognition of nature's rhythm. It lands on the first warm days after winter, when a small green shoot makes the season feel real again.
