I cannot play alone;
The summer comes with flower and bee -
Where is my brother gone?
The butterfly is glancing bright
Across the sunbeam's track;
I care not now to chase its flight -
Oh! call my brother back!
The flowers run wild - the flowers we sow'd
Around our garden tree;
Our vine is drooping with its load -
Oh! call him back to me!
"He would not hear thy voice, fair child!
He may not come to thee;
The face that once like spring-time smiled,
On earth no more thou 'lt see.
"A rose's brief, bright life of joy,
Such unto him was given:
Go - thou must play alone, my boy!
Thy brother is in heaven."
And has he left his birds and flowers;
And must I call in vain?
And through the long, long summer hours,
Will he not come again?
And by the brook and in the glade
Are all our wandering's o'er?
Oh! while my brother with me play'd,
Would I had loved him more!
What is the message in this poem?
His brother is dead and gone. He will have to go ahead on his own.
Reply:I feel the message is to appreciate those in your life whom you care about and don't take them for granted. I also think that it sends a message that even though the brother is gone physically, he's still around in the memories and places that they shared while he was alive.
Reply:The child's brother had died and gone to heaven,
leaving his sibling lonely and with no one to play with.
thats basically what it's about.
Maybe the message has something to do with appreciating those that we once took for granted?
: )
Reply:the message is that it is not fun to play alone or that you love someone and now it's to late.
Reply:It's about a young by whose brother has died and he needs to go on with his life and except his brother's passing.
Reply:I agree do your own homework.....
but with that said it sounds like something that has to do with the death of a loved one....could be brother as in sibling or close friend.
Reply:Longing for a sibling that has forever gone.
