Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Blackbird" is a beautiful and evocative ode to the titular bird, with the speaker of the poem marveling at the blackbird's song and the mysteries it seems to contain.
One of the most striking features of "The Blackbird" is the way in which it captures the sense of wonder and mystery that surrounds the blackbird. The speaker of the poem describes the blackbird's song as "a joy, a triumph, a delight," and seems to be captivated by the way in which the bird's voice seems to contain some sort of hidden meaning or message. This sense of mystery is heightened by the fact that the blackbird's song is described as being "uninterpreted," suggesting that there is some sort of deeper meaning to be found in the bird's song if only we could understand it.
Another interesting aspect of "The Blackbird" is the way in which it highlights the beauty and majesty of the natural world. The speaker of the poem describes the blackbird as being "a thing of beauty," and marvels at the way in which the bird's "throat is full of fire." This appreciation for the beauty of the natural world is further reflected in the way in which the poem describes the blackbird's habitat, with the speaker noting that the bird's "nest is in yon green hawthorn," and that the bird's song is heard "through the mellow shade."
Overall, "The Blackbird" is a beautiful and thought-provoking poem that celebrates the wonder and beauty of the natural world, and encourages us to look for the deeper meaning and significance in the things that surround us. Whether we are able to fully understand the mysteries contained within the blackbird's song or not, the poem encourages us to appreciate and value the beauty and majesty of the world around us.
The Blackbird (Frederick Tennyson Poems)
The smoke-wreaths from the chimneys curl up higher, And dizzy things of eve begin to float Upon the light; the breeze begins to tire; Half way to sunset with a drowsy note The ancient clock from out the valley swings; The Grandam nods — and still the Blackbird sings. Take While yon Shall sing for want, ere leaves are new, Caught in the Alfred Lord Tennyson. Two golden stars, like tokens from the Blest, Strike on his dim orbs from the setting sun; His sinking hands seem pointing to the West; He smiles as though he said - 'Thy will be done': His eyes, they see not those illuminings; His ears, they hear not what the Blackbird sings. While the far fields with sunlight overflowed Like golden shores of Fairyland are seen; Again, the sunshine on the shadow springs, And fires the thicket where the Blackbird sings.

The Blackbird by Frederick Tennyson
I never have so much fun reading verse as when I read Seuss or Poe to be perfectly honest. Before her home, in her accustomed seat, The tidy Grandam spins beneath the shade Of the old honeysuckle, at her feet The dreaming pug, and purring tabby laid; To her low chair a little maiden clings, And spells in silence - while the Blackbird sings. Hmm, should definitely read more Dickenson. This is another poem placed among the poems of 1833, but not printed till 1842. Frederick Tennyson was an English poet. The espaliers and the standards all Are thine; the range of lawn and park; The unnetted black-hearts ripen dark, All thine, against the garden wall.

The Blackbird by Lord Alfred Tennyson
And there beneath the immemorial elm Three rosy revellers round a table sit, And through gray clouds give laws unto the realm, Curse good and great, but worship their own wit. English author often regarded as the chief representative of the Victorian age in poetry. How soft the lovelight of the West reposes On this green valley's cheery solitude, On the trim cottage with its screen of roses, On the gray belfry with its ivy hood, And murmuring mill-race, and the wheel that flings Its bubbling freshness - while the Blackbird sings. Also like Wallace Stevens and Philip Larkin. Goodbye I say to every leaf, Every cloud and every wind you have, As my wings are yours for this brief Short time. Other important works are Despair 1881 , Locksley Hall Sixty Years After 1886 , Demeter and Other Poems 1889 and his famous Crossing the Bar 1889. Now the good Vicar passes from his gate Serene, with long white hair; and in his eye Burns the clear spirit that hath conquered Fate, And felt the wings of immortality; His heart is thronged with great imaginings, And tender mercies — while the Blackbird sings.

Tennyson’s Poems E
The espaliers and the standards all Are thine; the range of lawn and park; The unnetted black-hearts ripen dark, All thine, against the garden wall. Sometimes the shadow of a lazy cloud Breathes o'er the hamlet with its gardens green. Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1809-1892. Oh, big world, Let your stars shine their darkness on me. Sometimes the shadow of a lazy cloud Breathes o'er the hamlet with its gardens green. Sometimes the shadow of a lazy cloud Breathes o'er the hamlet with its gardens green.

The Blackbird Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Please do not seek feedback or instruction on your writing. I know Seuss is more of a political satirist, and Poe is considered a little low brow by a lot of people, but love read that stuff. How soft the lovelight of the West reposes On this green valley's cheery solitude, On the trim cottage with its screen of roses, On the gray belfry with its ivy hood, And murmuring mill-race, and the wheel that flings Its bubbling freshness - while the Blackbird sings. The lion-headed gates, so grim and proud, The mossy fountain with its murmurings, Lie in warm sunshine - while the Blackbird sings. I'm partial to Milton though. Leaves of Grass is a fine collection an the general standard, but Penguin has a complete poetry collection that is cheap and VERY LONG so you get a lot for your dollar there.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by…
Down by the brook he bends his steps, and through A lowly wicket; and at last he stands Awful beside the bed of one who grew From boyhood with him - who, with lifted hands And eyes, seems listening to far welcomings, And sweeter music than the Blackbird sings. The lion-headed gates, so grim and proud, The mossy fountain with its murmurings, Lie in warm sunshine - while the Blackbird sings. Yet, though I spared thee kith and kin. How sweet the harmonies of afternoon: The Blackbird sings along the sunny breeze His ancient song of leaves, and summer boon; Rich breath of hayfields streams through whispering trees; And birds of morning trim their bustling wings, And listen fondly - while the Blackbird sings. Far shouts and laughter from the farmstead peal, Where the great stack is piling in the sun; Through narrow gates o'erladen wagons reel, And barking curs into the tumult run; While the inconstant wind bears off, and brings The merry tempest - and the Blackbird sings. The very dial on the village church Seems as 'twere dreaming in a dozy rest; The scribbled benches underneath the porch Bask in the kindly welcome of the West; But the broad casements of the old Three Kings Blaze like a furnace - while the Blackbird sings. The woods, the lawn, the peaked Manorhouse, With its peach-covered walls, and rookery loud, The trim, quaint garden alleys, screened with boughs.

Blackbird
If you enjoy free verse, of course, there is no better lyrical poem that Whitman in my estimation. Down by the brook he bends his steps, and through A lowly wicket; and at last he stands Awful beside the bed of one who grew From boyhood with him - who, with lifted hands And eyes, seems listening to far welcomings, And sweeter music than the Blackbird sings. He passed most of his life in Italy and Jersey. Chiefly Lyrical 1830 ; his two volume work, again entitled Poems, of 1842 which includes, alongside rewritten earlier works, the dramatic monologue 'Ulysses', 'Morte d'Arthur' and 'Sir Galahad' - his first pieces dealing with Arthurian legend, 'Locksley Hall' and 'Break, Break, Break'; the novella Princess: a Medly 1847 and his In Memorium A. A little while - and lo! Tennyson succeeded Wordsworth as Poet Laureate in 1850; he was appointed by Queen Victoria and served 42 years.

Poem: The Blackbird by Alfred Lord Tennyson
While the far fields with sunlight overflowed Like golden shores of Fairyland are seen; Again, the sunshine on the shadow springs, And fires the thicket where the Blackbird sings. Before her home, in her accustomed seat, The tidy Grandam spins beneath the shade Of the old honeysuckle, at her feet The dreaming pug, and purring tabby laid; To her low chair a little maiden clings, And spells in silence - while the Blackbird sings. Other major works, this time from Tennyson's second period of creative out put after being made poet laureate, include Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington 1852 , The Charge of the Light Brigade 1854 and Maud 1855 , what Tennyson referred to as his "monodrama". On the high wold the last look of the sun Burns, like a beacon, over dale and stream; The shouts have ceased, the laughter and the fun; The Grandam sleeps, and peaceful be her dream; Only a hammer on an anvil rings; The day is dying - still the Blackbird sings. The ring of silver voices, and the sheen Of festal garments - and my Lady streams With her gay court across the garden green; Some laugh, and dance, some whisper their love-dreams; And one calls for a little page; he strings Her lute beside her - while the Blackbird sings. Bliss Carman, et al.
