Answer:
Answer:
The bird sees the speaker and seems to react bravely, uttering one single, sharp tweet. When she makes this one sound, it's not a "chirp" or a "trill" (which are sweet little sounds) but rather a "passionate note of victory," as if the bird is sure her sound will scare away this giant human invader. At this, the speaker slips away, smiling, to leave the bird alone.
The bird sees the speaker and seems to react bravely, uttering one single, sharp tweet. When she makes this one sound, it's not a "chirp" or a "trill" (which are sweet little sounds) but rather a "passionate note of victory," as if the bird is sure her sound will scare away this giant human invader. At this, the speaker slips away, smiling, to leave the bird alone.Here's a little more information about what's going on in the poem. "The Mother Bird" is full of contradictions. Throughout the poem, the speaker characterizes the mother bird as having a mixture of meekness and valiance: the bird is "brave" as she looks at the speaker, yet has "beseeching" eyes that look at him "meekly." More contradictions attributed to the bird include "valiant tears" and "hopeless joy," as if the animal has the human-like ability to experience complex and contradictory emotions: fearlessness and fearfulness, hope and hopelessness. As the poem comes to a close, the speaker labels the bird a "mother" but points out her "lonely" state in the nest--we assume the baby birds haven't hatched yet, so she's not really a mother, then. The speaker's reaction to the bird's sudden cry is a final contradiction in the poem; that is, while he's making his exit because the bird so effectively and victoriously drove him out of the hedge with her "sharp solitary note," he's also slipping away with a foolish smile on his face, as if he were the victor in this situation.
