Title- I think the title "The White Doe" perhaps will have something to do with animals because the only way I have heard the word doe used is in the context of a female doe. Perhaps the poem will touch on the innocence of an animal or situation because of the word "white" which symbolizes innocence and cleanliness. Paraphrase: In the poem "The White Doe", the author talks about an encounter with a female doe. The meeting takes place in a clearing, which is an opening in the forest. It is a cold morning when the author first sees the deer in the shade of a tree between two streams. The author is enthusiastic about the site of the magnificent animal. Intrigued by the deer, he follows it throughout the morning like a greedy man in search of treasure. After following the animal, the author realizes that the deer does not want to be touched because a higher authority wants it to remain undisturbed. Soon noon came, and satisfaction did not reach the author's tired eyes. Eventually the author falls into a stream and the beautiful white doe disappears. Connotation: The first look at the poem "The White Doe" leads the reader to believe that it is strictly about an encounter with a white doe, but this is not the case. it's actually a love poem. The white doe represents the woman loved by the author. The rhyme scheme of this poem varies from stanza to stanza. The first stanza has an ABAB rhyme scheme, the second ABBA, the third ABA, and the fourth stanza has no rhyme scheme. The deterioration of the constant rhyme serves as a tool to exemplify how the speaker gets lost in following the animal/woman. The entire poem is an example of personification because the white doe represents the woman the author loves. The white symbolizes the... center of the card... for the deer, the author created a more feminine sounding title, which in turn implies that the white doe represents a woman. Theme: The author is trying to say that everyone should come out of the woods into the clearing because you might find something magnificent. In other words, that someone doesn't find themselves trapped in clutter or everyday life and only think about themselves. The author is trying to send the message to people to look up out of the woods and see life because a beautiful white doe, a pure and innocent young woman, may be waiting to meet yourself. However, ultimately the author wants to move away from his escape, so he is also saying that one should not fixate on one moment. Therefore, the author is sending the message that you should look up and smell the roses, but know where you are and still have your priorities in order..
