Where The Wild Roses Grow:
This poem is split in to three days with two different peoples point of view, about a woman called Eliza Day, who thought she met a man who would keep her safe and protect her but she was not right, this happened on the first day. On the second he bought her a flower and started to flatter her by using metaphors and similes, two of the most important lines in the poem are ‘Will you give me your loss and sorrow’. This was said on the second day on the third day on the second stanza. It means will you give me your life and tell me all your problems, she says yes but Eliza doesn’t know what situation she just put herself in. The other line is where it says ‘All beauty must die’. This means she must die after he has been calling her beautiful; she has now been given a slight hint about her death.
The listeners:
This is a poem about a traveler who makes a promise to someone, but when he fulfills his promise but the bearer of the promise was not there to witness this fulfillment. The author uses a range of techniques to describe what is going on e.g. rhyming words and alliteration. This is also old English. The language used to describe the scenery is very dark and spooky as it in the middle of the night and no one else is there to see what is going on. The speech helps the reader feel interested and change their feelings.
