Long Answer Type Questions

1) How does Longfellow personify the wind in the poem ‘Daybreak’?   or /

What roles does the wind play in the poem ‘Daybreak’?     or  /

How does the wind inspire the various objects to welcome the coming morn ? or /

Justify the title of the poem ‘Daybreak’.

Ans:  Longfellow’s ‘Daybreak’ presents the wind’s announcement of advent of a new day. 

                                        In this poem the wind acts as a messenger, urging the living world to wake up to action at the beginning of the day. Coming out of the  misty sea, the wind calls for the end of mists. Then it greets the ships and urges the mariners to sail on. The wind rushes to the far away land, announcing the beginning of the day. The forest, the wood-bird and chanticleer are addressed by it to get up as the dawn has come. It asks the cornfield to bow down and welcome the morning. It also urges the belfry tower to ring the morning bell. When the wind blows across the cemetery, it sighs for the dead buried under.

                Thus the poet personifies the wind so that it can wake up the living world to action. It also urges all to wake up to action to perform the duties of their earthly existence at time of breaking of the day.  [ Hence the title is apt and appropriate ] 

2) “It crossed the church yard with a sigh”—— Who crossed the churchyard?  What did it say  while crossing the churchyard? Why did it say so ?   [ 1+2+2 ]

Ans :  The wind crossed the churchyard with a sigh in the poem ‘Daybreak’.

                        After crossing the sea, land, woodland, farm and fields of corn, the wind finally came to the churchyard. While crossing the churchyard it urged the dead buried under to lie quietly.

                                        In this poem the wind acts as a messenger, urging the living world to wake up to action at the beginning of the day. At last the wind crossed the church yard with a sigh. It did not want to disturb the repose of those sleeping in the graveyard for it was not time for them to wake up yet.

3) Who takes the responsibilities of announcing the breaking of the day ? How is this feat achieved? How is the final couplet different from the rest of the poem ?             [ 1+2+2 ]      ( 2014, 2017 )

Ans :        The wind takes responsibility of announcing the breaking of the day.

                                                In this poem the wind acts as a messenger, urging the living world to wake up to action at the beginning of the day. Coming out of the  misty sea, the wind calls for the end of mists. Then it greets the ships and urges the mariners to sail on. The wind rushes to the far away land, announcing the beginning of the day. The forest, the wood-bird and chanticleer are addressed by it to get up as the dawn has come. It asks the cornfield to bow down and welcome the morning. It also urges the belfry tower to ring the morning bell.

                        When the wind blows across the cemetery, it sighs for the dead buried under. It did not want to disturb the repose of those sleeping in the graveyard for it was not time for them to wake up yet. So this part was totally different from the rest of the poem.
