"Daybreak"
H.W.Longfellow
H.W.Longfellow's poetry reflects his interest in establishing an American Mythology. Here is his one of the best poem entitled 'Daybreak',which deals with the theme of natural objects that emphasises in this poem wind addresses mists,sailors,landwards, forest,wood-birds,fields, belfry-tower & the dead persons. In very first lines of the poem we come to know that the wind that comes out from the sea says mists to make place for it.then it greets the ships & wakes up the mariners & says them that night has been gone & even to the part of the land it says that ships are going & day is going to rise.
After that the poet awakens the forests & screams loudly at them that all the tress have to hang out their leaves like the banners are hang out. It touches the wings of woods birds, who were sleeping by folded wings & then it flies over the farms & wakes up the cocks & says that start your clarion because the day is very near.
Then the wind addresses the fields of corn that they have to bow down & moves with the wind. Later it goes to the belfry tower & wakes it & tells that they should announces the hours & coming morning to the http://people.at last it addresses to the dead in their graves telling them sadly that their hour for reawakening has not yet arrived as they must wait till the day of judgement.
Ultimately if we critically analyse the poem we can come to the conclusion that the poem emphasises on breaking of the day.the poet has wonderfully welcome to the coming morning.
