Question

How is the end of the female creane suggested in the poem?
​

Answer 1

It is said that ‘a wave of the seas she had never seen’ came to her and carried her away. It cannot be the real sea because the cranes lived near the sea. It could be a wave of grief which the bird had never known as long as her partner was alive. She was always very happy, and the death of the male bird pushed her towards sadness. Grieving for the male bird and sitting on his blood-stained feathers, the female bird forgot to eat or drink and thus, becoming very weak, met her end.
