Choice Poem by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

Choice

Rating: 2.9


April for me I choose!
In it the old things tumble,
In it things new refresh us;
It makes a mighty rumble,-
But peace is not so precious
As that his will man shows.

April for me I choose,
Because it storms and scourges,
Because it smiles and blesses,
Because its power purges,
Because it strength possesses,-

In it the summer grows.

Repetition used to emphasize the essence of April to the speaker. I believe one of the theme will be excitement. I will assess the speaker as a romantic because of his strong connection to and description of the natural phenomena that is encountered in April. April has also been personified greatly in the second stanza. love it
