My Heart is Like a Singing Bird
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Late 19th Century Poetic Expression of Love and Longing The captivating image of "My Heart is Like a Singing Bird" is a beautiful and evocative representation of love and longing from the late 19th century. This exquisite print, published by The Estate of Florence Susan Harris from Mary Evans Prints Online, features the poetic words of an unknown author, accompanied by a stunning illustration of a bird perched on open books. The verse reads, "My heart is like a singing bird / Whose nest is in a water'd shrub / My heart is like an apple-tree / Whose branches are in blossom now / My heart is not a granite thing / It is a tender thing, a fragile thing / And if you want to touch it, for goodness' sake, be very gentle." The late 19th century was a time of great artistic and literary expression, and this print is a testament to the deep emotions and romantic ideals of the era. The image of the singing bird is a common metaphor for the human heart, expressing the idea that love is a beautiful and delicate thing that can be easily damaged or destroyed. The open books beneath the bird represent the depth and complexity of the human heart and mind, as well as the importance of knowledge and learning in understanding and expressing love. The watered shrub and blossoming apple tree further emphasize the idea of growth and renewal, suggesting that love is a constantly evolving and transformative force. Overall, "My Heart is Like a Singing Bird" is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the power and fragility of love, and the importance of treating it with care and tenderness. This late 19th century print continues to resonate with us today, as we strive to understand and express the complexities of the human heart and the enduring power of love.
