A Little Song
of Love is indeed a lovely love song which a lover is singing for his mistress.
Look at the references that he is giving to her – they are of beautiful nature
and birds and so on. It means the way nature moves on, similarly they should
also advance. A relationship stagnant like a puddle begins reeking of stench
and mildew.
Overall, the
poem is lovely and straightforward. The best aspect about Ruskin’ writing style
is that he puts forward simple yet engrossing content, be it a story or poem.
The wild rose
is blooming
And new
leaves shine green,
The sky when
it’s open
Is
ultramarine.
Sleep well,
my darling,
Keep
dreaming, stay warm,
The blackbird
is singing
To tell us
it’s dawn.
The wild
geese are winging
Their way to
the north,
And I know
from their calling
It’s time we
went forth.
The spring
sap is rising
As we set out
together,
And you’ll be
my sweetheart
Forever and
ever.
By Ruskin
