Here is ur answer :

The Brook is, definitely, a symbol for life. Tennyson has personified the Brook to draw parallelism between life and the Brook. Some examples of parallelism are:

1. INFANCY :

There is a striking parallel between human life and the life of the Brook. As an infant appears in this world, the Brook also emerges from the place of its birth.

2. YOUTH :

In human beings this is the period when 'life' is at its peak. One is strong, full of enthusiasm and dynamism. All his movements are dynamic and full of action. Similarly, brook is its youth,

` By thirty hills I hurry down
Or slip between the ridges.'

The other words which express its youthful movement are 'bickers', 'frets' and 'chatters'.

3. LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM :

The brook is a symbol for life. It provides a support system to life and living. The brook is full of 'trouts' and 'graylings' which provide food for animals and living beings.

4. OLD AGE :

Before it ultimately join the brimming river, the Brook sheds its fret and anger. It assumes of leisurely and peaceful demeanour while 'stealing' by grassy lawns and plots or 'sliding' by Hazel covers.
