I Shall Keep Singing! - meaning Summary
Singing Through Seasons
The poem presents a speaker who vows to continue singing despite birds migrating to warmer places. Using the image of birds and a personal Redbreast
, the voice contrasts youthful morning songs with richer, mature evening vespers. It expresses steady creative or emotional perseverance and the belief that later expression can be fuller and sweeter than early promise. Tone is resolute and quietly celebratory.
I shall keep singing! Birds will pass me On their way to Yellower Climes Each with a Robin’s expectation I with my Redbreast And my Rhymes Late when I take my place in summer But I shall bring a fuller tune Vespers are sweeter than Matins Signor Morning only the seed of Noon
