HELP!! PLEASE!!!!! What is the theme in the poem "The Bluebird's Song?"?

okay first of all the poem is by Emily Huntington Miller and here it is:



I know the song that the bluebird is singing,

Out in the apple tree where he is swinging.

Brave little fellow! the skies may be dreary -

Nothing cares he while his heart is so cheery.



Hark! how the music leaps out from his throat!

Hark! was there ever so merry a note?

Listen a while, and you'll hear what he's saying,

Up in the apple tree swinging and swaying.



"Dear little blossoms down under the snow,

You must be weary of winter I know.

Listen, I'll sing you a message of cheer!

Summer is coming! and springtime is here!



"Little white snowdrop! I pray you arise;

Bright yellow crocus! please open your eyes;

Sweet little violets, hid from the cold,

Put on your mantles of purple and gold;

Daffodils! Daffodils! say, do you hear? -

Summer is coming, and springtime is here!"



please please please help me i have no idea what the theme is!!!!

HELP!! PLEASE!!!!! What is the theme in the poem "The Bluebird's Song?"?
The bluebird represents the "bluebird of happiness", and the theme of the poem is that, no matter how bad and endless things might look (you know, like this last winter, that seemed endless?) there is always an end to sorrow, just like there is to winter.



It also implies, in the first stanza, that no matter how bad things might look around you, you can defeat despair if you have a positive outlook.
