Description
Humphrey Carpenter remarks that "Vespers" was produced at the very end of the 50-year Victorian—Edwardian tradition for writing about the "Beautiful Child" in sentimental terms. The poem starts by beguiling the reader into thinking it is following this myth only for the attentive reader to realise that Christopher Robin is not actually praying but he is thinking about the important things in his life.

The other myth tells the tale of a robin coming to visit Christ whilst he was on a cross, to sing him a soothing song as he was dying, and thus its brown breast got stained with Christ’s blood, and that’s why they are called Redbreast. Milne said "The truth is that prayer means nothing to a child of three, whose thoughts are engaged with other more exciting matters." [22] He wrote of his own thoughts about God: [28] Larks and nightingales play prominent roles in poetry, but robins have been celebrated as well. A member of the Thrush family, American Robins ( Turdus migratorius) received their common name because of their resemblance to the British Robin ( Erithacus rubecula), a smaller bird in the Chat family. Both birds are known for their pretty red breasts, and both are regarded with affection. Baldwin, Emma (29 May 2021) [27 October 2020]. "Vespers by A.A. Milne". Poem Analysis. Poem Solutions Limited.

In particular, red robin superstitions suggest they received their redbreast as a reward for protecting the Christ child from sparks of a fire, which the bird caught on his breast, while the holy family were going to Egypt. The poem describes the United States as a ship, a metaphor that Whitman had previously used in "Death in the School-Room". [39] This metaphor of a ship of state has been often used by authors. [74] Whitman himself had written a letter on March 19, 1863, that compared the head of state to a ship's captain. [69] Whitman had also likely read newspaper reports that Lincoln had dreamed of a ship under full sail the night before his assassination; [69] the imagery was allegedly a recurring dream of Lincoln's before significant moments in his life.

BB I do not want to intrude but I cannot have you being unhappy either. I understand that there is no timeline on mourning, it is different for each of us. If you ever want to chat let me know I might drive you bonkers but I sense that sometimes you need to get things off your chest in confidence otherwise things get heavy on your shoulders. Once you have had a special friend, it is difficult especially when the bond was tight and so long lived. Naomi Shemer, 74; Wrote Unofficial Israeli National Anthem". Los Angeles Times.

The spring after my father died, a robin appeared in my garden I was sat in tears about my dad and brother because of it. In British mythos, Robin is well known through the story of Babes in the Wood, a tale in which two children find themselves lost in the woods, die, and later are covered with leaves by robins.
