Hi! :)
“Why does your sword so drip with blood, Eddie, Eddie! Why does your sword so drip with blood why do you walk so sadly I have killed my good hawk and I have never had a mare? but him your hawk's blood was never so red, Ed, Ed Your hawk's blood was never so red my dear son, Oh I tell thee Oh I have killed my red roan steed, mother, mother Oh I have killed my red roan steed that once was so fair and free oh Something like that.”
The plums in this poem symbolize comfort and happiness. The old woman is "giving herself" to the plum in her hand which shows that she is completely engrossed in the act of eating it and putting her life into it. Williams also directly says that she is 'comforted' and finds a 'solace' in the plums which show their importance to her happiness.
The fourth one. The dashes helping describe Mickey’s travel.
