The title of the poem as “The Darkling Thrush” is aptly justified. The thrush’s song acts as a turning point in the poem. The speaker sets the tone of a desolate and dejected wintery scene, lamenting the dying century. The “aged, frail, gaunt and small” thrush sings a song of “joy illimited” showing the poet that hope can be found even in the most desolate times. The thrush spreads the message that one should be in search of hope and forgo all pessimism in life.
