IF BY RUDYARD KIPLING.

 If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

This poem was written by Rudyard Kipling. The first time I read the title it gave me a happy and fun feeling but when I read the actual poem I felt sad and then, in the end, I felt a little bit better but when I came to understand this poem I realized that the meaning of this is about how you could come across things in life such as the things written in the poem such as or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch.The rhyming pattern I found in the poem is more like A A A A B C D C that is what the first stanza sounds like. the second one sounds like A B A B C D E D.and the fourth one is more like A B C B D E F E.in In the poem there are four stanzas and eight lines in each stanza.

It makes me feel.

Sympathy.

 I know what the caged bird feels, alas!

    When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;   

When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,   

And the river flows like a stream of glass;

    When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,   

And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—

I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing

    Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;   

For he must fly back to his perch and cling   

When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;

    And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars   

And they pulse again with a keener sting—

I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,

    When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—

When he beats his bars and he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or glee,

    But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,   

But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—

I know why the caged bird sings!

This poem was written by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The Toen of the first stanza is more like A B A A B C and for the second stanza it is more like A B A A B C C and for the last stanza, it is like A B A A B C C.

In this poem, I found about three poetic devices. The poem was organized with three stanzas and seven lines in each stanza. The meaning of this poem is about how miserable a bird can get in a cage. and I think the author also wants you to think about the bird in the cage.

The first connection I made to the title was a happy feeling. There are two stanzas and there are eight lines in the first stanzas. There was a happy tone He smiled and then I knew what charm had brought him. There were alliteration.there were hyperboles and personification. I think the meaning of the poem is about a soldier and I think the author wants you to think about how it feels like to be home after a long period of time.
