Abstract: Death is one of the major themes in D. H. Lawrences poetry. Although he explores death tirelessly in all his literary life, his real exploration is the rebirth after death. His poetical exploration for the way of rebirth consists of the rebirth metaphor in the form of plants and the rebirth metaphor in the form of animals. Through these metaphor carriers, D.H. Lawrence finds some strong spiritual sustenance for his weak body and a dwelling place for his frightening soul, and ultimately finds a transcendental and being-towards-death way out for himself. Organic whole as D. H. Lawrences rebirth metaphor is, it remains an essential link in the great chain of being and in the great chain of influence of the tradition of death narrative in British poetry. The formation of his rebirth metaphor results not only from the influence of the great tradition of the death narrative in British poetry, but also in the dynamic formation of this great tradition, thus there remains some intertextuality between them.
