Sea Birds Diving
Can anyone explain what this poem says about solitude?
Far from the loud sea beaches
Where he goes fishing and crying,
Here in the inland garden
Why is the sea-gull flying?
Here are no fish to dive for;
Here is the corn and lea;
Here are the green trees rustling.
Hie away home to sea!
Fresh is the river water
And quiet among the rushes;
This is no home for the sea-gull
But for the rooks and thrushes.
Pity the bird that has wandered!
Pity the sailor ashore!
Hurry him home to the ocean,
Let him come here no more!
High on the sea-cliff ledges
The white gulls are trooping and crying,
Here among rooks and roses,
Why is the sea-gull flying?
All the imagery depicts a solitary existence of loneliness. The nature scenes are filled with a sense of quietness and untroubled bu disturbance. the sea gull is usually a loud noisy creature but it is advised to hie away and leave the solitude of the place. Hope this helps. : )
