not giving up. She uses symbols to represent the message in the poem. This makes
this poem very inspiring. The theme of the poem is freedom and hope. The poet
talks about breaking down the walls and releasing your wings to just fly and live.
The tone and mood of the poem, in the beginning, is pessimistic and Depressed
And this is represented in line2 and 3 “I know, for I used to abide …. In the
narrowest nest in a corner,"
But there is a shift in the mood into hopefulness as the poet starts the second
stanza with "But I sighted the distant horizon" the word horizon here is a symbol of
hope and this hope turns into joy by the third stanza
“I battered the cordons around me”
