Morns Like These We Parted - meaning Summary
Parting Like a Bird
The poem observes a farewell across a single day. The speaker watches a woman rise and move from delicate fluttering to steadier repose, while both remain silent—her silence from "transport," his from agony. The day progresses toward evening, when a sudden, sharper movement breaks the stillness and she departs like a linnet. The poem compresses emotional distance and a final, abrupt parting into a brief, image-driven encounter.
Read Complete AnalysesMorns like these we parted Noons like these she rose Fluttering first then firmer To her fair repose. Never did she lisp it It was not for me She was mute from transport I from agony Till the evening nearing One the curtains drew Quick! A Sharper rustling! And this linnet flew!
