Both poems convey love as an emotion that transcends the immediate world of feeling; thus‚ references are made by the speakers to eternity‚ and vivid imagery is employed to describe extraordinary settings.

William B Yeats (1865-1939) From The Wind Among the Reeds (1899) Men improve with the Years I am worn out with dreams; A weather-worn‚ marble triton Among the streams; And all day long I look Upon this lady’s beauty As though I had found in book A pictured beauty‚ Pleased to have filled the eyes Or the discerning ears‚ Delighted to be but wise‚ For men improve with the years; And yet and yet Is this my dream‚ or the truth?

“To the Virgins‚ to Make Much of Time” by Robert Herrick. In the opening stanza‚ the poet articulates the carpe diem tenet that urges one to "Seize the Day."

deepest love and care to their boyfriend or girlfriend. Among all poems and songs from the sixties to the twenty first century‚ I think that the poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe is the perfect Valentine’s Day poem.

on in his poem about how this skylark is greater than all things‚ and how the speaker cannot fathom all of the birds features. In stanza one he starts by saying “Hail to the blithe spirit! Bird thou never wert‚ That from Heaven‚ or near it.” this is really when the speaker begins to shout and express about how the bird is more than a bird.

the subject. Larkin entitled the poem‚ MCMXIV. These are the roman numerals used to represent 1914; the year the war was initiated. Our attention is captivated through the use of roman numerals as they are a foreign concept to the imperial numbers that we use today. The roman numerals could signify the place in time this war has and all it symbolises.
