Bengals Face
The central theme of the poem is to admire the beauty of nature of
Bengal. Bengal is full of cultural and natural elements. Yet we the
commons fail to get the note. The poet enumerates the presence and
the importance of nature to us through this poem. The poem opens
with the dawn time when the morning bird is sitting beneath a big leaf.
The poet can see a lot of other trees and herbs. He names some of
the least looked upon shrubs. Then he makes us remember of the
heritage of the area. He says that this beauty of the Bengal shall be
for even. This is eternal.
Traffic Police
This is a beautiful poem about a traffic policeman. The speaker of the
poem is the policeman himself. He speaks of the conditions under
which he works. He works in all weather -good or bad. He keeps
standing all the time and take care of the vehicles and the
pedestrians ignoring physical difficulties. But the speaker knows that
any negligence in his duty might snatch a life or cause a fatal
accident. So he carries on his duty very carefully. The poem
beautifully depicts the joys and sorrows of a traffic police man.
The Schoolboy
The first stanza of the poem shows how the boy learns from nature
and everything around him in a very delightful way. The parents of the
boy see importance in school and mandated the boy to be in a
classroom setting than fool around with the dangling trees and
chirping birds. The parental control was so high that the schoolboy
felt as if he was imprisoned; he couldnt perform his own wills thus he
tried to make understand his parents that if a budding child is
oppressed from the early stage of life the innocence will wither away.
Love & Friendship
The poet comments upon the ways of the world and the human
rudeness and ingratitude, which is more biting than the winter wind.
In the beginning of the poem he addresses the winter wind: it can
blow as strongly as it wills, but it cannot be as biting as human society.
Then he partly accuses his friends for forgetting his favors and not
being thankful. Wind can freeze him, but it wont be so painful as the
behavior of his friends. The poet here says that the friendship is only
a pretense and loving is nothing but absurdity and foolery. He again
tells that life is very wonderful and should be fully enjoyed. It is like
a song and should be sung.
Out out
This poem describes a farm accident that unexpectedly and
irrationally costs a young boy his life. The boy old enough to work
labors in his backyard, slicing wood for the stove. His sister calls him
for supper, and eager eat, the boy jumps a bit. The saw, almost
portrayed as a character in its own right, nearly slices the boy's hand
offgrim stuff. The doctor comes to help, and amputates the hand.
He puts to boy under with ether but the boy dies. The narrator of the
poem sets the scene, seemingly from an outsiders perspective,
reporting the incident with objectivity and restraint and abruptly
ending the boys life, followed by his familys subsequent return to
their daily routines depicts the out & out nature of human life
Dreams (A)
This poem depicts two types of dreamers. Firstly those who keep
their dreams for just at night, and never act upon them, they dont
struggle to achieve their dreams; they look at them with a closed
mind. Secondly those who make their dreams a reality, and enter
things with an open mind, they believe they can do it, and make their
dreams come true. Saying there are two dreamers. One is bad the
bad ones are those who keep their dreams to themselves and never
come to do them. Then we have the good one one that will get up and
try to fulfill those dreams
Dreams (B)
The speaker advises the reader to hold onto dreams, because if
dreams die, life will be like a bird with damaged wings that cannot fly.
When dreams go away, life is barren field covered with frozen snow.
Rather, the dreams that are the main subject of this poem are the
hopes, ideals, and goals that can give daily life its meaning and
purpose.
The lake isle of Innisfree
The speaker says he's going to go to Innisfree to build a small, simple
cabin. He'll have a little bean garden and a honeybee hive. He wants to
live alone in peace with nature and the slow pace of country living.In
the last stanza, the speaker restates that he's leaving and explains
it's because every night he hears the water lapping against the shore
(of Innisfree). Even though he lives in a more urban place with paved
roads, deep down inside he's drawn to the rural sounds of Innisfree.
September 1 , 1939
The poet reports directly his feelings of uncertainty and fear for the
future, as well as his distrust of the socialist schemes of the 1930s
that failed to prevent the recurrence of war. In truth, as the poem
itself points out, the urges for attack, revenge, and complacency have
been woven into the fabric of Western society since ancient times
that is curved in the night of September 1, 1939.
The Charge of the Light Brigade
The poem tells the story of 600 horsemen of the Light Brigade who
are ordered to charge forward into a valley, with guns on all sides.
They do, and they meet heavy fire. When they encounter their
Russian enemies, they attack them, kill some of them, and then
retreat down the valley. The gunfire on the way back is just as bad,
and many of these heroic soldiers die. The world marvelled at the
courage of the soldiers; indeed, their glory is undying: the poem
states these noble 600 men remain worthy of honor and tribute
today.
She Walks in Beauty
The poem is about an unnamed woman. She's really quite striking, and
the speaker compares her to lots of beautiful, but dark, things, like
"night" and "starry skies." The second stanza continues to use the
contrast between light and dark, day and night, to describe her
beauty. It is also learnt that her face is really "pure" and "sweet."
The third stanza wraps it all up she's not just beautiful, she's
"good" and "innocent," to boot. While the poem may have seemed to
be one about superficial beauty, what the poet really admires is the
subject's goodness.
I died for beauty
The speaker says that she died for Beauty, but she was hardly
adjusted to her tomb before a man who died for Truth was laid in a
tomb next to her. When the two softly told each other why they died,
the man declared that Truth and Beauty are the same, so that he and
the speaker were Brethren. The speaker says that they met at
night, as Kinsmen, and talked between their tombs until the moss
reached their lips and covered up the names on their tombstones.
