In fact‚ the whole poem is composed of imagery‚ that are all solely for the purpose of relaying the sense of pure joy the speaker is feeling. The first line starts off with “My heart is like a singing bird” which gives the impression that her heart feels as elated as a bird does when singing. Another example is‚ “My heart is like an apple tree whose boughs are bent with thick-set

Birthday by Christina Rossetti Everything in the first stanza speaks of the happiness Rossetti sees around her‚ and the repeated expression ‘My heart is like . . .’ stresses this joy‚ but she says at the end of the first stanza that her “heart is gladder than all these” which implies that what the poet is feeling is more than she can put in words.
