Summary "A Dark Month" by Algernon Charles Swinburne is a lyrical poem likely written in the early 20th century. This work captures the essence of grief and longing, reflecting on the deep sense of loss experienced during a month devoid of light and joy, metaphorically presented as a dark May. The poem encapsulates themes of childhood innocence, remembrance, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies the absence of a beloved child. The poem unfolds as a poignant meditation on the impact of a child's loss on the speaker’s life, evoking the sorrow of waiting for the return of joy represented by the child’s presence. Swinburne employs vivid imagery and musicality to convey the pain of separation, capturing the stark contrast between the vibrant life of spring and the desolation felt without the child's laughter. Throughout its verses, the longing for reunion permeates, suggesting a deep yearning for hope and the restoration of brightness in life, reflecting a universal sentiment of grief intertwined with love and nostalgia.
