The happy song by the thrush acts as the turning point in the poem. Before hearing the song, the poet laments the dying century and along with it, all things beneficial. The song serves as a symbol of hope one can find even in the most desolate times. The thrush, sings its heart out, without caring about the surroundings and the dying century. The poet realizes that the thrush is aware of some blessed hope which he is yet to find. The song represents that one should always look past the pessimism and look for hope and happiness in all aspects of life.
