We are Free
We are Free - meaning Summary
Freedom in Nature's Voice
Tennyson’s short lyric presents wind and streams as voices announcing release and freshness. Through gentle personification and pastoral imagery, the poem frames nature’s movements—the sea, streams, blossoms—as a communal chorus declaring We are Free
. The tone is celebratory and restful, emphasizing renewal, harmony, and an uncomplicated, immediate sense of liberty tied to dawnlike beginnings and natural cycles.
The winds, as at their hour of birth, Leaning upon the ridged sea, Breathed low around the rolling earth With mellow preludes, “We are Free”; The streams through many a lilied row, Down-carolling to the crispèd sea, Low-tinkled with a bell-like flow Atween the blossoms, “We are free”.
