the poem seems 2 b influencd by the sorrows that frost faced after the death of his wife, daughter an son...
the dark woods represent his sorrow while the bird represents his freedom...unsurprisingly the poem is set around nature...despite his sadness, the poem seems quite optemistic.

This poem is evidently about freedom. The persona wants to be free from sadness and grief, therefore choosing a thrush, which is a bird. Birds are the most free animals, that can soar and venture. At the same time, they are also very fragile, which is the persona's state. The persona at first feels hopeless, but soon sees a slight chance of hope,"Though it could still sing," "still lived for one song more." The spots of hope through darkness are represented on the thrush's chest, because a thrush is dark brown and has white spots. Those spots are the rays of hope through the darkness.The bird calls the persoan to lament,"Far in the pillared dark... to the dark and lament." He eventually chooses the light, and refuses to go back into the darkness.
This poem is soo deep. The imagery is wonderful!

In all Frost's poems, it seems to me that it always has a lot to do with strolls through nature. I find it beautiful and engaging. It jogs the mind to paint an exquisite picture. This is an awesome poem!!!
