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!!!
