Summary of the Poem 'The Flower'

In the poem ‘The Flower’, the poet, Tennyson talks about
general wisdom; through this metaphorical poem he tells the readers that new
ideas, endeavors are initially scoffed at by people. And when that new idea or endeavor
becomes popular, people far and wide imitate it. in this poem the word ‘flower’
could be his poetry style.

In the first stanza the poet says once he planted a seed in
some good time that over the years blossomed into a beautiful flower; but
people criticized it and called it a weed.

All those who passed by his garden saw the flower and
expressing their disapproval of its beauty would keep on criticizing.

However, the flower kept on growing in beauty and brilliance.
Then thieves stole its seeds at night.

The stolen seeds were sowed in far off cities and towns. The people
appreciated the beauty of the flowers produced by the seeds.

The poet in the fifth stanza says that all people can raise
the flowers using the seeds of the flower sown by him.

In the last stanza he says though most of the people have
seeds from his flower, but not everyone can grow pretty flowers. And the ones
that are not pretty, people call them weed indeed.
