Question

summary of daybreak poem

Answer 1

Answer:

 'Daybreak' by H.W. Longfellow is a nature-poem where the wind is personified as a vibrant and energetic character. As the title suggests, the poem describes the scene of dawn. The wind comes out of the sea and requests the mists to make room for him. It hails the ships and asks the mariners to move on. Then the wind hurries towards the land. First, it orders the trees to shout and to 'banner out' their leaves. Then it orders the wood birds to sing and the chanticleer to blow his clarion. Next, it whispers to the corn to welcome the 'coming morn'. The wind then said to the belfry tower to announce the hour. Finally, it crosses the churchyard with a sigh and said to the deads not to wake up because it is not their time.
