What is the main theme of the poem? Written while Brontë was away at school this poem
describes her longing for summer on the heath the
flowery grassland of her home. Heath is also the name
of a purple flower that grows on that landscape
The Bluebell
by Emily Brontë
Differences between a person's mood and
what they see can be instructive.
A comparison between a person's thoughts
and actions can be informative.
The Bluebell is the sweetest flower
That waves in summer air
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
To soothe my spirit's care
There is a spell in purple heath
Too wildly, sadly dear
The violet has a fragrant breath
But fragrance will not cheer,
Changes that occur in nature can cause or
reflect changes in people.
A contrast between home and another
location can cause feelings of self-doubt.
