“A Birthday” By: Christina Rossetti

Background Born: 1830; London, England Died: 1894 Occupation: writer, poet, short story, prose writer Father was in Italian exile Other works include: Goblin Market and Other Poems, The Prince’s Progress and Other Poems

“A Birthday” My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a watered shoot; My heart is like an apple tree Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon sea; My heart is gladder than all of these Because my love is come to me Raise me a dais of silk and down; Hang it with vair and purple dyes; Carve it in doves and pomegranates, And peacocks with a hundred eyes; Work it in gold and silver grapes, In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys; Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me

Theme “Love between people is a deeper emotion than can be expressed even by natural images of rapture and abundance.” 1st stanza: nature 2nd stanza: things made from nature that are imperishable

Symbolism “singing bird” “Whose nest is in a watered shoot” “fleur-de-lys” and “purple dyes” “dais” “rainbow shell” in the “halcyon sea”

Speaker/Tone Someone who is in love with life But it may also be a person “my love is come to me” Soothing, happy, reverie, imaginative Conversational

Imagery 1st stanza all imagery was affiliated with figures of speech 2nd stanza the imagery forms a complete picture in the reader’s mind

Structure Iambic tetrameter Lyric poem 2 stanzas containing 8 lines each

Sound Patterns Rhyming Alliteration Assonance Consonance shoot, fruit boughs are bent Assonance paddles, halcyon, gladder Consonance thickset, fruit, bent

Personal Response Imagery was used really well Unique idea to compare her love and life to a birthday Has a nice rhythm and the words flow together

Historical Context “Women and Society” Women writers were expected to limit the subjects of their poems “A Birthday” was acceptable because it was about love

Figures of Speech Similes in 1st stanza compare to things in nature “My heart is like a singing bird” Hyperboles “boughs are bent with thickset fruit” Metaphors “A Birthday”
