The Poem
I KNOW what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals —
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting —
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings —
I know why the caged bird sings!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'' Till its blood is red on the cruel bars''
A bird will beat its wings on the bars to get out of the cage.
'' when the sun is bright on the upland slopes''
Notes
The aurthor means when the sun is bright on the hills means the birds will feel forgotten
But a plea, that upward to heaven he flings”: cage bird seems to be getting desperate to fling a prayer upward.
When I read the poem I felt: Sad that the bird was locked up all day and he knows how the bird feels.
I feel this way because: I know what they feel.
How does the author feel about slavery: He thinks slavery is horrible cause the bird is locked up like slaves and can’t get free.
I know this because: He talks about it all through the poem.
I know the bird beats his wing/till bloody red he knows the bird wants to get out of the cage and be free.
I KNOW what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals —
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting —
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings —
I know why the caged bird sings!
