Daybreak - H.W. Longfellow

Daybreak is very beautiful poem by H.W. Longfellow. The poem describes the daybreak and the description of poem is really beautiful. He used wind to interact with other things.

He starts with,

A wind came up out of the sea,
And said, "O mists, make room for me."

The wind of the new morning arrives from the sea and as it go further it pass message that new day is coming. First the wind orders mist to make way for it. Then wind reaches to the place where ships were docked. The wind tells sailors with enthusiasm that ye sailors, sail on, the night is gone. Then the wind moves toward land crying,, "awake, it is the day".

To forest it says that hang your leaves out, to wood bird it says that wake up and sing. To rooster the wind says that the day is near, blow your clarion. The wind passes above the corn fields and orders to bow down. The wind reaches to bell tower and asks to ring and announce the day.

Till this the poet beautifully describes cheerful morning but in the end he makes twist. The last stanza is,

It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, "Not yet! in quiet lie."

So finally the wind pass through the graveyard. Though it was cheerful morning for everyone, who have died they have no meaning of it. The wind lies there saying that the day is not yet come.

So, it is a simple poem to understand and also beautiful to read.

To the Indians who died in South Africa - T.S. Eliot

A man's destination is his own village,  His own fire, and his wife's cooking;  To sit in front of his own door at sunset  And see his grandson, and his neighbour's grandson  Playing in the dust together.  Scarred but secure, he has many memories  Which return at the hour of conversation,  (The warm or the cool hour, according to the climate)  Of foreign men, who fought in foreign places,  Foreign to each other.  A man's destination is not his destiny,  Every country is home to one man  And exile to another. Where a man dies bravely  At one with his destiny, that soil is his.  Let his village remember.  This was not your land, or ours: but a village in the Midlands,  And one in the Five Rivers, may have the same graveyard.  Let those who go home tell the same story of you:  Of action with a common purpose, action  None the less fruitful if neither you nor we  Know, unt...

Joy and woe woven are fine - William Blake

In this short poem William Blake wants to give message that joy and grief, both are part of life and both are good. He says joy and woe are woven fine. Woven means things which are attached to each other. Both happiness and grief are fine. They are cloths of our soul. In every grief, there are also joy we need to find it. We are not here for only happiness or for only pain. But we are made for both. And when we know that joy and woe both are part of our life, we can live happily in grief also. So, in this poem poet wants to tell that accept both joy and pain. Do not become unhappy when sad moments come, there are always happy moments also. Know that both are part of everyone's life and live happily. That is all poet wants to say in the poem.
