This poem highlights the journey of brook (a small river) which originates from the mountains and then flows down through valleys and plains and merges into a big overflowing river. As it rushes down the sparkling water happily dances with the rays if the sun. It then flows down a valley making a noisy sound as the water bickers over pebbles and stones.
The river is like a playful child. It plays with the vegetation around it. It rushes down the hill to reach its next stage..the valley. This phase of the brook's life can be compared to a man in his youth when he is full if energy, enthusiasm and vigour.
The brook moves over stones and pebbles, passes through hills, forests, villages, towns and fields. During this journey, it gathers blossoms, silt, gravel and fish which it carries along with it. This can be compared to the different experiences, challenges and wisdom acquired by man during his life span.
Finally, the brook flows quietly over plain land and Philip's farm to join the big overflowing river. At this stage its movement is slow and smooth, signifying old age, when a man becomes calm, gentle and lethargic.
The last two lines explain the central theme of the poem, that is, human life is mortal while the beauty of the nature remains eternal and the cycle of life goes on.

Alfred Lord Tennyson was one among the most popular British Poets. He was excellent in writing short lyrics. Tennyson wrote poem right from his teens along with his two elder brothers and it was locally published when Alfred was seventeen.
In 1833 he published his second book, which received a lot of criticism and which discouraged Tennyson and made him stay away for more than ten years from another publication.
Tennyson used a wide range of subject matter for his poetry which ranged from medieval legends to classical myths, from observation from nature to domestic situations. He was a craftsman, who polished his manuscripts according to time, which very few other poets did. He experimented in adapting the quantitative meters of Greek and Latin poetry into English.
