Have you got a brook in your little heart meaning

Have you got a Brook in your little heart

Where bashful flowers blow
And blushing birds go down to drink
And shadows tremble so
And nobody knows, so still it flows
That any brook is there
And yet your little draught of life
Is daily drunken there
Why, look out for the little brook in March
When the rivers overflow
And the snows come hurrying from the fills
And the bridges often go
And later, in August it may be
When the meadows parching lie
Beware, lest this little brook of life
Some burning noon go dry!
By upender sir :)Explanation 200 words:)⇵⇵⇵⇵⇵⇵

The poem ‘Have you got a brook in your little heart’ by Emily
Dickenson is a beautiful example of symbolism. In this poem the poet is implying
that each human being should have a source of beauty inside his or her heart to
depend on.


The poet askes the reader whether they have the brook
(metaphor) of beauty, peace, and inspiration flowing in his/her heart, where
flowers bloom (pleasant emotions), birds sing (hope and optimism).


The poet says whether anyone is aware or not, this brook of
beauty keeps flowing in everyone’s heart secretly. And each human being derives
strength and pleasure from this inner source.


During the spring (youth), the flow of joy is abundant in
this inner brook. However, in August (old age), the flow lessens, leading to dry
spells that might make the meadows of emotions parched. The poet appeals to all
the humans to be watchful and ensure to keep this inner brook flowing always.
