We are Seven Analysis:

Summary

The poem "We Are Seven" by William Wordsworth is a conversational poem between the speaker and a little child. The poem portrays the theme of life and death to the innocence of the child who is unaware of the death of their siblings and still thought that they are seven.

The poet is astonished after seeing the innocence of the child. The poet also wants to illustrate here that the passage of time brings complexity to us. At young ages, we all used to be innocent and unaware of the overloads of life problems.

In the poem, the minor child is oblivious to the fact that their siblings are dead. She still sings and talks to them for the reason as if they all are still alive. Whenever does the speaker ask the child- How many they all are? She replies with great innocence that "We Are Seven!".

When the speaker asks where they all live? She answers that- Two of them are in a town named Conway, and two of them at sea, next two lie beneath the tree in the churchyard, her mother and she lives near the graves. Further, the little child gives more information about the death of their siblings, but again when speakers try to satisfy her with the fact that their siblings have died, then again she replies that, No Master! "We Are Seven!"

Theme:

The whole picture of the poem is that death is not the ultimate end of life, death can end the body, but the feeling and emotions never dies. When we love someone, their emotions are always alive within our hearts, as the child sees their siblings still alive and sings and talks to them happily, knowing that they are not alive.
