Question

central idea of the poem "the brook"

Shahwar Kibria · Accepted Answer

Lord Alfred
Tennyson, in his poem, The Brook, presents a comparsion between two
important themes--mortality and eternity This comparison is the
central theme of the poem Mortality, is represented by human life,
which has only limited time of existence on earth This is
contrasted by eternity--or the life of the brook, or nature which
has been before man was, and will outlive him too Thus the poet
says, 
For
men may come and men may go,
But
I go on for ever
