Detailed explanation-1: -The main theme of the poem ‘Song’ by T.S Eliot is love and optimism. The optimistic mood of the poem compliments the theme of love because realistically, optimism is necessary to even believe in, yet alone enjoy, the concept of love.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three important themes: the idea of the self, the identification of the self with other selves, and the poet’s relationship with the elements of nature and the universe.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, in this poem, the rose is sick, caused by an “invisible worm that flies in the night in the howling storm.” (2-5) This “invisible worm” is a metaphor that means disease, specifically syphilis. The term “invisible worm” meaning syphilis gives literal definition to the use of the word “sick”.
