The Gentleness Of Heaven Sunrises Over The Sky Analysis

In this poem the speaker managed to utilize poetic devices to show creativeness. The poet used the rules of sonnet. The poet also used the figures of speech, sound effects, syntax and diction to make his writing qualify even further to be called a poetic piece of art. This is just the analysis and demonstration of how the poet managed to do.
The poem is a sonnet, this is clear at first glance because it is constructed of 14 lines. The structure of the sonnet is constructed of octave and sestet. The octave consists of 8 first lines where the theme of the poem is introduced, and the last six lines are called sestet where the theme is developed. Usually at the end of the sestet the theme is developed. The poet contemplating and commenting about
Even if animals and people can be quiet and holy, the existence of both these attributes (quiet and holy) is often seen more in human beings than elsewhere.
The poet uses imagery in line 5 when he says “the gentleness of heaven broods over the sea”. The poet creates the image of how the sky appears to be blending with the sea, he decides to use the word “heaven” instead of the sky and made heavens appear brooding the sea.

This is clear in the sestet towards the end of the poem when he says to a child “and worshipp’st at the Temple’s inner shrine and God be with thee…” these two lines start to indicate that the poet is expecting the child he is walking
In line 2 and 3the poet selects words ‘Nun’ and ‘sun’. the fact that these two words end with a sound ‘un’ which sound the same whether it is preceded by either a nun or an ‘s’. when reading aloud these two words are noticeable, which captures the reader’s attention. The use of these sound effects at the end of a sentence also brings about the relationship among these two unrelated lines. The previous line was just talking about the time while the following one is talking about the sun. Thereafter to connect the two sentences the poet uses the sound effect of ‘…un’. A similar skill has been used by the poet in line 5 and 6. Here the poet use the sound effect ‘ …ake’ coming from two words ‘awake’ and
