How would you paraphrase the theme of this poem?
What will be an ideal response?
- Perhaps the best way to arrive at a summation of the poem’s intent is to consider its separate parts. In lines 1–9, the speaker urges optimism and affirmation, advising the young and “progresstoward” to respond to the naysayers that the darkness is neither constant nor permanent. In lines 10–12, she stresses living in—and reaping the joys and pleasures of—the here and now. So, putting the pieces together, we might restate the theme as follows: Live in a spirit of well-founded hope, and remember that true and lasting progress is achieved by carrying that spirit through each day, rather than by aiming for some distant and obscure goal.
