The brook appears to be a symbol for life, which becomes the central theme of the poem. Various instances can be seen in the poem which draw parallel between brook and life, such as:
* When the brook comes out from the mountains, its movement is very noisy and quick and it is in full vigour. It is in a hurry to reach its destination, that is, the river. Similarly, man, in his youth, is very energetic, lively, enthusiastic and full of vigour.
* When the brook comes closer to the river, its movement becomes slow and smooth, which can be compared to man in his old age, who becomes very calm, gentle, soft and lethargic.

The brook is immortal wheras the human life is transient. The brook overcomes all hurdles on the way to its destination wheras, the humans are subjected to emotional breakdowns and despair.
