The Seven Of Hearts. ;)
Implications of the poem
Emotions of the poem
Key phrases in understanding the deeper meaning within the poem:
4th Stanza - I prayed in your rustic temple, a child, with a child’s devotion.
5th Stanza - upon your bosom, sorrows
were ever unknown to me;
6th Stanza - that drove away all pain:
return to this heart of mine
Even though he was much more educated by the time he was writing the poem, a part of him still preferred being naive and innocent. (I.e. having a child's devotion.)
And wherever Rizal was, he wasn't as happy as when he was still in his town ('return to this heart of mine that which drove away all pain' and 'sorrows were ever unknown to me'.)
For the reporters, these are the phrases that emphasize more how much he longs to go back to what once was, compared to the extremely detailed descriptions of what he misses.
- First and Second Stanza - Happy Reminiscing
- Third and Fourth Stanza - Longing
- Fifth Stanza - Admiration, Awe (emphasis on God and Nature)
- Sixth Stanza - Amazement, Excitement (emphasis on beauty of Town)
- Seventh Stanza - Parting, Hope
As seen in the title, and in the words Rizal used, we can safely assume that this was written during a time when Rizal wasn't in his hometown anymore.
A time when these memories were fresh enough for him to remember how much he loved his town so dearly, but these memories were also old enough for it to give him a feeling of nostalgia.
You can feel how much he loves his town when he still wishes it all the best even though they're parting ways.
(unlike some exes. haha.)
