This poem, as all masterpieces by any great writers, can be interpreted in a variety of way. Dickinson gives us a bird that comes to her garden in Spring, then leaves and comes back again the following year and makes her ever so happy again. Many readers have suggested that she is referring to a very dear friend she misses tremendously and that she can't wait for him to come back. This could be extended to the cycle of natural life and the hardships of Life that need hope and effort to be born and overcome and finally, the theme of Death and our Awakening in Heaven, where, according to the Christian faith, there are no shadows or hardships. The Robin could very well be her heart or even her immortal soul.
