Question
I read a poem called "winter evening" by Archibald lampman and Im supposed to connect this poem to the question of how this poem is about nature. How can I support this? Any notes or points can help :)

Also im allowed to interpret this poem by analyzing any image patterns and how they contribute to theme. I dont think nature relates to this so maybe this is a better topic?

Your second option sounds much more do-able! I don't see "nature" in the poem at all. Lots of images, though!

could you help me to understand the theme of the poem? Im not able to understand what it is which is why I cant move on to the imagery part

You'll find it very helpful as you continue to deal with literature and interpreting such.
Use the left column as the table of contents. Scroll down and read about Theme. Let me know what you think.
PS -- Another way to think about a theme is this: What's the secret (underlying) message the author wants his/her readers to understand?

Keep in mind that this may be a very modern way to use the structure of the sonnet.
14 lines
3 quatrains, plus a couplet
Read up on sonnets, too, so you can decide if you want to include that.
