The refrain “ away, melancholy” continues to be repeated, emphasizing the need to find the positive side of existence, and not get stuck in pessimistic thinking. This can be seen in “ meat/eat”, “ also/go”’ and “ hurries/bury”. Though the poem does not have a structured rhyme scheme, the poet employs rhyme sometimes. Man is no outcast, and does not deserve to be wrapped in the gloom of sadness, and should instead have the strength to find the silver It is a feat of strength to push away the feeling that does not belong and to find positivity in the darkness. In this context, it represents both, as man is weary of the melancholy in his life and is joyous when it flees. “ hey ho” is an exclamation, and can represent weariness or happiness. Man has the same rights nature has provided to an animal, so melancholy must depart. Humanity feeds itself, humanity builds relationships with one another, and humanity faces loss. Man busies himself with many things as they live through the cycles of life. They are occupied in the business of survival, and man is not necessarily any different. This extends to the whole world, as every living thing busies itself with something or another, and end up as either predator or prey. The diligent ant spends the whole day working, and remains occupied and productive. Humanity is compared to animals, to show that men and animals are not so different, and both deserve to enjoy the lives they live.
#MELANCHOLY LOVE POEM FULL#
Man deserves to be full of this kind of energy as well, and not entangled in sorrow. The world is moving, growing, and full of vigour. There is strong imagery used in “ Does not the wind blow, / Fire leap and the rivers flow ?” The activity on Earth directly contrasts the stagnancy of gloom. Man is intrinsically related to nature and has a place in its stability and beauty. Everything has its own role in nature, and thus man has a role to play as well.
Melancholy does not belong in a place of such beauty, with crisp air, leaping fire, and coursing rivers. This new life and growth do not develop under sorrow, and the poet uses this to prove her point. The trees are green and make the world green, and this greenery represents new life. The Earth is beautiful, and the theme of nature is used very often in this poem. These words have an element of pleading, and this plea continues as the poet explains how the feeling of melancholy has no place in the world. The phrase “ let it go” also shows that it is a conscious decision, so the world must let go of melancholy, and melancholy must let humanity out of its grasp. The poet asks this feeling to go away, to leave her be. It is a gloomy feeling that can be compared to the depths of sorrow, and humanity may find themselves lost in it. Melancholy is a feeling of sadness, usually without an exact cause. This becomes the refrain or mantra of the poem, as melancholy has no place in the world. The poem starts with a demand, with the poet telling the feeling of melancholy to go away.
