The Brook Summary Class 9 English

now we are going to learn the first
lesson in poetry it's a delightful poem
called the brook written by Alfred Lord
Tennyson Tennyson the first Baron was a
poet laureate of Great Britain and
Ireland he's known as a Victorian poet
since he lived during much of Queen
Victoria's reign he remains one of
Britain's most popular poets let's read
this poem together and enjoy it I come
from horns of coot and urn I make a
sudden Sally and Sparkle out among the
fern two bigger down a valley by thirty
hills I hurry down or slip between the
ridges by 20 thoughts a little town and
half a hundred bridges till last by
Phillips farm I float to join the
brimming river for men may come and men
may go but I go on forever a chatter
over stony ways in little shops and
trebles I bubble into eddying Bay's i
babble on the pebbles with many a curve
my banks i fret by many a field and
followed and many a fairy for land set
with villa weed and mallow a chatter
chatter as I flow to join the brimming
river for men may come and men may go
but I go on forever I whined about and
in doubt with here blossom sailing and
here and there a lusty trout and here
and there a grayling and here are there
a foamy flake upon me as I travel with
many a silvery water break above the
golden gravel and then and draw them all
along and flow to join the brimming
River for men may come and men may go
but I go on forever
I steal by lawns and Rossi plots I slide
by hazel covers I move the sweet
forget-me-nots that grow for happy
lovers I slipped by slide I glue my
glance among my skimming swallows I make
the netted sunbeam dance against my
sandy shallows I murmur under moon and
stars in brown
wildernesses I lingered by my shingi
bars I loiter around my crisis and out
again I curve and flow to join the
brimming river for men may come and men
may go but I go on forever
the poet vividly describes the path of a
stream from the place of its origin to
where it ultimately joins the river it
has been written in the form of an
autobiography where the brook relates
its experiences as it flows to join the
river such a device where an inanimate
object is brought alive is called
personification listen to the lyrics the
lilt in the words and the lusty rhythm
as you listen to the poem then we will
focus on some unfamiliar words haunts
are places frequently visited Courte a
type of water bird Hearn is a heron a
big ego Sally to appear suddenly bigger
when water flows down noisy leave have
you heard bickering amongst people
people argue blah blah blah blah blah
noisily let's continue a top top is an
old English word for a village treble is
a high-pitched tone what's an Eddie and
Eddie is a spiral movement in water
babble the sound of someone talking
gaily I slept I slide I glue my glance
this is the poetic device that's called
alliteration
can you think of some more I chat her
over stony ways in little shops and
troubles I bubble into eddying bays I
babble on the pebbles what is the
meaning of fallow fallow is a piece of
land left uncultivated to make it
fertile again which bank of this brook
is fellow in your opinion foreland
Poland is a piece of land that extends
into the sea
Chingy bars they are small rounded
pebbles hazel hazel is a small tree with
nuts that are edible
we heard of hazelnuts forget-me-nots
these are flowers which are cherished by
lovers to declare their eternal love for
each other do you see the mischief that
the brook has done the naughty brook
moved these forget-me-nots to some place
downstream thus causing doubt and
misunderstanding between the lovers a
lusty trout it's a big feisty freshwater
fish grilling is a small silvery
freshwater fish which abounds in the
sparkling waters upstream this is a
picture of Philips farm can you see the
hills the bridges and the ridges
what's the refrain in this point for men
may come and men may go would I go on
forever see you soon with a new lesson
