Hlo friend.. Cutiepie Here..

Here is ur answer :

The poem draws a parallel between the journey of the brook and the journey of the human life. Tennyson personifies the brook to make it a metaphor or symbol of life and living. The use of the first person 'I' is quite significant . The origin and the onward flow of the brook runs parallel to the onward journey of man in life. The brook is rightly compared to the human life. Like the life of man, it also passes through various stages of development. As it flows on, it changes its size, sound and movements. In its infancy, it hurries down 30 Hills and slips through ridges. When it is young, like human beings, it frets, rushes and gushes with all dynamism and roaring noise. Like human beings, the brook also becomes mature and middle - aged. Here it loses its turbulence when it flows in the open. Here it ' steals' by the lawns and grassy plots and 'slides' by hazel covers. It flows silently before it joins the brimming river.


The brook also has a life - support system of its own. Many herbs , bushes, plants, willows, lawns, flowers grow near its banks. Moreover , it carries lusty trouts and graylings providing food for animals and men.


Similar to the journey of the brook , human life also passes through many ups and downs. It has to overcome many hurdles, difficulties and struggles in its life. But , just as brook goes on undaunted and heads towards its destination, human beings must also go on.
