If you grew up in the country, truly, you understand natural decay and "to every season turn, turn," and you do not grieve too long and certainly know that the birds don't.

I'd have to disagree with some of the aforementioned ideas. I think this poem is about the relationship of nature to human emotion and suffering. By saying "For them there was really nothing sad" he is saying that human loss doesn't reflect on nature, which in this poem is represented by the phoebes. The birds are singing and flying around, and the tulips are growing regardless of the fact the farmhouse was a desolate wreck.
