Heaney's tone in " Blackberry - Picking " begins jovial and light but ends sad and dark. This emphasizes the narrator's contentment with innocent naivety at the beginning of the poem and his regrets and dissatisfaction in life at the end.
Where as, Dunbar's tone in "Sympathy" remains constant throughout. The colorful recollecting memories of childhood give and impression of nostalgia of the poet. Heaney uses a variety of poetic devices, metaphors , similes , personification , onomatopoeia , word choice and rhyming to create a vivid image of his childhood experience of blackberry picking as a child, this makes the poem. Select plump, firm, fully black berries.
Unripe berries will not ripen once picked.

The fresh berries describe a person in their prime of life. The narrator then describes the youthful, eager desire to strive for endeavors and the unhindered greed for more.

Lines These lines show how far the speaker's willing to go to fulfill his hopes and desires. He goes to great lengths and with the greedy perseverance of, say, a man who's all smitten with a woman.
Ain't no mountain high enough! Line OK, so this isn't the first stanza, but it's the beginning of the poem's turn. If we think of the lust after the berries as a metaphor for the speaker's lust after a beautiful young woman, we can assume that she's not going to be young and beautiful forever either. Eventually her hair is going to turn gray and her skin will wrinkle.
But the speaker doesn't want to think about that; he wants to hope he can keep them fresh and perfect forever. The Harvested Berries Here comes the dramatic turn. Line Yep, the beauty is starting to fade. Already there are signs of nastiness and rot. Notice how it's "when the bath was filled," so presumably when the speaker finally is starting to feel satisfied, his hopes are dashed. So the rotting berries symbolize what here? The transience of the things? We'd say all of the above!
Line Funny Heaney should use the word "glutting" here. In the first part of the poem he was the glutton, but now things have turned around and a fungus is eating away at his precious riches. Lines OK now we're getting to the point. The "nothing lasts" message Heaney has been dancing around. Line Just in case you missed it, here is the "have hope despite the facts of life" message. So the speaker's desire to keep the fresh berries fresh is a metaphor for the human desire to keep what's good in life from leaving or dying.
