Read the following poem.

"A Birthday" by Christina Rossetti

My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is a weathered shoot;

My heart is like an apple-tree

Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon [peaceful] sea;

My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is come to me.

QUESTION: What mood do the details of the poem convey? (Look specifically at the three things the speaker compares her heart to.)

• Sorrow

• Happiness

• Excitement

• Nervousness
