( Read the following poem and write an appredation of it with the help of given points
In paragraph format)
Life, believe, is not a dream,
So dark as sages say,
Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day :
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
Oh, why lament its fall?
Rapidly, merrily.
Life's sunny hours fit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly
What though death at times steps in,
And calls our Best away?
What though Sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope a heavy sway?
Yet Hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell,
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly
The day of trial bear
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!

Not sure exactly what you’re asking but if you are asking how we relate to poetry by its relevance to our lives, then I have an answer. Every poem has some message in it about what life’s all about. Sometimes it’s a celebration of a person’s life or of a small incident in that life. If we have had similar experiences, then we can relate to that. When I read about Felix Randall in Hopkins poem about him, I think of my father who was a very hard worker. I’ve known other workers, but none quite as impressive. When I read about Emily Dickinson’s hearing a fly buzz when she died, I’ve almost but not quite had a similar experience.
The message in Charlotte Brontë’s poem “Life” is that we should be hopeful rather than hopeless and optimistic rather than pessimistic. In the first stanza, Brontë lists a series of weather events which are usually perceived as negative and shows why each should in fact be perceived as positive. When “clouds of gloom” gather overhead, she says we should remember that they are “transient all,” and that these showers “will make the roses bloom.” The clouds are, of course, metaphorical and allude generally to hard times. Likewise, the roses are metaphorical and allude generally to good times. The message is firstly that bad times will soon enough give way to good ones, and also that bad times are often necessary precursors to good ones.
In the third stanza, Brontë describes hope as “elastic,” meaning that no matter what pressure is exerted upon it, hope will always return. Hope is then described as having “golden wings . . . strong to bear us well.” The message of the poem is emphasized in the final line, in which Brontë asserts that “courage can quell despair!” The tone here is rather defiant. It’s as if Brontë refuses to accept the dominion of death and sorrow and instead is determined to see only hope and courage.
