Is there symbolism in this poem?

THE ROBIN is the one

That interrupts the morn

With hurried, few, express reports

When March is scarcely on.

The robin is the one 5

That overflows the noon

With her cherubic quantity,

An April but begun.

The robin is the one

That speechless from her nest 10

Submits that home and certainty

And sanctity are best.

(By Emily Dickinson)

    See if you might be able to compare the robin to a woman who keeps all of her beauty on the outside.

    Could it be symbolic of how your values change as you get older?

    It starts in the morning (youth) all chatty and loud and hurried. Then, at middle life (noon) I'm not sure hahaha, but then, as she gets older (or later in the poem), she settles down and finds happiness and value in silence, peace and stability.
