Poem someone- Mary Lamb


The poem


The Swallow is a summer bird;
He in our chimneys, when the weather
Is fine and warm, may then he heard
Chirping his notes for weeks together.
Come there but one cold wintry day,
Away will fly our guest the Swallow:
And much like him we find the way
Which many a gay young friend will follow.
In dreary days of snow and frost
Closer to Man will cling the Sparrow:
Old friends, although in life we’re crost,
Their hearts to us will never narrow.
Give me the bird= give me the friend-
Will sing in frost-will love in sorrow-
Whate’er mischance to –day may send,
 Will greet me with his sight to-morrow.

The Poem Wife's Lament -theme-analysis Introduction of the poem:               "The Wife's Lament" is one of the most recognised Anglo-Saxon elegies. It is a monologue found in the "Exeter Book". The book was preserved with in the Cathedral of Exeter for nearly 600 years. However, it is still one of few works that we have in near perfect condition, save eight folios in the beginning of it, that were replaced sometime early in his life. It contains nearly one-sixth of all the Anglo-Saxon poetry we have today. The Wife's Lament was likely transmitted orally for generations before the writing of the " Exeter Book ". Scholars still find several other semantic and syntactic obscurities , and many elements of the story are left ambiguous. It is doubtful, through,that the text has been corrupted in any way. However it is much more characteristic and stylish of small works no to have proper nouns than it is of larger works.           ...
