I need a summary for the poem "The Darkling Thrush."

The poet Thomas Hardy as a pesimmist mourns for the death of the century because he wrote this poem on Dec. 31 1900.

In the first stanza he explains about the winter season which is usually dull and unhappy. The sun is going to set and the light is dim.People who went for their job in morning retured home.

In the second stanza he considers the dying century to the tomb covered by clouds. He considers the process of life and death in this world.

During his lamentation he hears a sweet sound of a bird which was a old thrush singing very happily with unlimited joy in its song.

The poet cant find a reason why the bird is so much happy and concludes that only the divine may know the reason.
