Answer:
The entire poem is based on irony as the people who once used to revere the man and put him on a pedestal became the same people who deserted him and even killed him at the end. The Patriot is divided into six stanzas, each of which is a different chapter of the Patriot’s life.
- In ‘The Patriot’ Browning explores themes that include duty, happiness, and sorrow. The extremely fickle opinions of the citizens of this area change the Patriot’s life form one of celebration to one of sorrow. The man is welcomed with adoring and an obsessively reverential celebration but soon things change. IT no longer matters the lifetime he spent in dedication to his country. Everyone and everything turns on him. Eventually, he’s killed and no one is even there to watch.
A lot can happen in two years. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. As the world stares down year three of a crisis that has affected so many lives and livelihoods, we’re bringing you a look at how it has affected business and society as well, and what might come next.

Explanation:
As the poem begins, the speaker recalls his memories of this very day just one year ago. Even he says that he was welcomed victoriously by his countrymen. The citizens of his country decorated the path with roses and myrtles to welcome him. In fact, they crowded on the roofs of the houses to see the speaker for once. And also the churches sway their flags to welcome the patriot.
It was roses, roses, all the way,
With myrtle mixed in my path like mad:
The house-roofs seemed to heave and sway,
The church-spires flamed, such flags they had,
A year ago on this very day.
In the second stanza, the speaker continues that even that day the air was filled with cheerful sounds of bells. Moreover, he describes that thousands of people crowded against the old walls of the houses. They even cheered and cried out for their hero that is, the speaker. So, the port remembers that he had even promised them to bring the sun for them. Here, the poet metaphorically uses the sun to denote that the speaker was even ready to do any insuperable deed for his countrymen.
