All nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair— The bees are stirring—birds are on the wing— And Winter slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring! ("Work without Hope," lines 1-4) What does slumbering mean in this passage?

The word 'slumbering' in the sentence is meaning that winter is over, and spring is coming. That's what I get from it! Hope that helps! Sorry if that's wrong!
