“The Brook” Summary

The speaker of the poem, the brook itself, explains that it started out in a body of water where birds called coot and heron often gather. Suddenly, the brook rushes forward. The sunlight glitters on the water as the brook weaves through greenery that grows beside the stream bank. The brook then flows gently into a valley.

Gaining momentum, the brook tumbles down many hills and seeps through narrow crevices on some of the hillsides. Along the way, the brook passes several villages and a small town, and flows underneath lots of bridges.

Finally, the brook glides past a farm that belongs to a man named Philip. The brook is on its way to be absorbed by the river, which is already huge and overflowing. The brook claims that while humans live short, impermanent lives, the brook itself will always endure.

Picking its journey back up, the brook rushes over stone paths and streets, sounding like music as it flows over the rocks. The brook pools into bays filled with churning water and then tumbles over small stones that line the shore or are at the bottom of the bay.

The brook curves around the stream bank and passes many meadows and plots of farmland, both in use and left to rest, as it travels through the countryside. It also flows alongside land that seems to belong to fairies, its landscape dotted with green leafy plants and delicate blossoms.

Rushing along, the brook makes little trickling noises as it travels to the almost overflowing river. The brook reminds the listener that human life is fleeting, but the brook itself is eternal.

The brook meanders through the countryside, zig zagging across the landscape. It points out a flower drifting along with its waters, a few particularly hearty trout, and some freshwater fish called graylings.

Occasionally, the brook's water bubbles up and foams as it journeys toward the river. The surface of the brook sometimes forms little waves that crash melodically on top of the pebbles and sand down below in the stream bed.

The vigorous brook pulls the pebbles, flower petals, and fish along with it as it rushes to join up with the large river. While humankind's time on earth is short and temporary, the brook will continue to live on with no end in sight.

The brook quietly creeps past meadows and fields carpeted with grass and slips through densely planted hazel trees that shade the landscape. The rippling water nudges wildflowers called forget-me-nots that grow along the stream bank; the brook says these particular wildflowers are meant for people who are blissfully in love.
