Could it be that the little bird seems to know more of the future and holds a more optimistic view with words like 'hope' and joy', than Hardy, the poet and narrator? Or could the poem be ironic from the title, as it could be interpreted as Hardy, not the thrush that is in the dark despite the poem being about the 'Darkling Thrush'. You could pick out almost anything e.g. the image of the little, frail thrush against the strong song of hope it carries? <- I'm making it up as I go along and since this is in my A-level on Tuesday I do hope it makes sense! :)

What is the use of the word 'Fervourless' in the poem 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy?
It means that they had no fervour, or intensity in a feeling or belief. The Thrush was said to have a hope that the narrarator was unaware of, while the people and narrarator have no hope or feeling in the thrush's belief. The belief, in my opinion, is of there being life after death. That is why the old and frail thrush is happy while the rest of the world seems to be grey and in a place that has so much death that even the wind is "death-lament". So fervourless is saying that the people have no belief in the after life. The people are acting lifeless and are even refered to as spirits.
