hey..
i personally think that the bird represents some kind of never ending
circle.. emily dickinson knows the bird has to leave her, but she also
knows that he will come back because he has to come back, that's just the
way it goes in nature.
and i also think the bird musn't necessarily represent a person/ a thing
that went away/ she lost, but could show how deep feelings can be
restrained or taken away, but will come back someday.
sry if it sounds a bit crazy^^

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.

I feel that this is a lovely poem. I'm learning it for a school project,
and every time I look it over again, something new springs out at me. It's
melancholy, but also rather hopeful, bringing out the 'Darkness before the
dawn' aspect. And also that happiness is easy, you can get it from simple
things, if you let yourself. I know that this is probably a silly comment,
but I had to make it.

the two comments prior to this one is quite interesting, as are the ones
before; atleast those that pertaqined to the poem. However i felt that the
idea of Emily being in a state of emotional burden due to the parting of
someone she obviously cares for, was among the best interpetation i've
heard of this particular poem. It is also imperative to not that a number
of her poems are affliated with lost love or the lack of love.

i agree with the comments by Helen.I think Ms Dickinson was aluding to
someone she admired,using the Robin.the poem is has a sentimental tone to
it,somewhat wishing the bird(person) did'nt have to go,but also knowing
it(he) must go,and like the bird-and the seasons,it has to go but wll come
back again.

In this poem of Emily Dickinson she is speaking of an individual leaving
her and using the season and birds to examplify what she feels and what the
person, leaving feels and always will, even after leaving her. She is
really not sad but is expressing deep emotional feelings of this departure.
This is why I think she places emphase on the word repine. She used this
word three times through out her poem. The text she uses it in lets one
know she is not dissatisfied or complaining about the departure because
there will always be a connection.

I think though she is sad, she is also showing the happiness that always
seems to return. She may be saying that pain returns, but also does
happiness. You just need to wait for it to come. Even if it is only from
simple things like a songbird. She finds love and a simple happiness in a
simple bird.
