Summary of poem life for std 9th
Answers
Answer:
The poem Life by Charlotte Bronte is about the optimism of the poet. Bronte wrote the poem under her pseudonym Currer Bell. The Rhyme scheme of the poem is ABAB (except rain & dream). The poem is divided into three stanzas consisting of 8, 4 and 12 lines respectively.
In this poem, Bronte uses rain to serve as a metaphor for gloom, despair, and even death. Early in the poem, she remarks that “morning rain” can lead to a “pleasant day.” She adds that since rain makes the flowers bloom, we should not be gloomy or sad when the rain does fall. As the poem continues, Bronte uses the metaphor to address human concerns. At times, the rain will fall. Likewise, there will be times when humans must deal with Death. There will be times when “sorrow seems to win over hope.” However, just as sunny days and blooming flowers follow the rain, hope and happiness will follow such sorrowful times.
