Structure - 4 Stanzas

Stanza 1

When the lamp is shattered

The light in the dust lies dead

When the cloud is scattered

The rainbow’s glory is shed –

When the lute is broken

Sweet tones are remembered not –

When the lips have spoken

Loved accents are soon forgot.

The speaker uses examples related to people’s daily life to convey the idea that once love is gone, nothing will remain.

5

Stanza 2

As music and splendour

Survive not the lam and the lute,

The heart’s echoes render

No song when the spirit is mute –

No song – but sad dirges

Like the wind through a ruined cell

Or the mournful surges

That ring the dead seaman’s knell.

Rephrase the example of the first stanza

Starting using another example to more directly emphasize the consequence of losing love

6

Stanza 3

When hearts have once mingled

Love first leaves the well-built nest

The weak one is singled

To endure what it once possest.

Love! Who bewailest

The frailty of all things here,

Why choose you the frailest

For your cradle, your home and your bier?

Love will bring two hearts together, but once the relationship is formed, love will leave soon.

Love will reside in the weak hearts….

7

Stanza 4

Its passions will rock thee

As the storms rock the ravens on high –

Bright Reason will mock thee

Like the Sun from a Wintry Sky –

From thy nest every rafter

Will rot, and thine eagle home

Leave thee naked to laughter

When leaves fall and cold winds come.

Describe how passion can drive people who are in love

Love is blind

Lovers are dependent on each other. Once love is gone, the consequences will be perish or gloom…

To—[Music, when soft voices die]

Nikki Chang 400110162

To—[Music, when soft voices die]

Music, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory;

Odours, when sweet violets sicken,

Live within the sense they quicken.

Music still stay in our memory; the fragrance of violet linger before it fades.

To—[Music, when soft voices die]

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heaped for the beloved's bed;

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on.

The petals of dead rose are still used to heap a lovers bed.

And even when the lover is gone, the lover for that person will still goes on.

The Eternity of Love

Sick Violets

Music; Vibrates in the memory

The petals of dead rose

Slumber

• Inactivity.

• Love may awake someday.

• Love does not disappear.

Love remains deep in our heart.

Tale as old as time Song as old as rhyme… Beauty and the beast

Revenge Letitia Elizabeth Landon Speaker: a woman speaking to a man

Situation: the woman is no longer loved by

the man who fell for another woman

Tone: sorrowful, regretful, and with hatred

Theme: “love” no longer exists and turns out

to become “regret” and “hatred”

Revenge (stanza 1-2) Letitia Elizabeth Landon Ay, gaze upon her rose-wreathed

hair,

And gaze upon her smile;

Seem as you drank the very air

Her breath perfumed the while:

And wake for her the gifted line, That wild and witching lay, And swear your heart is as a shrine, That only owns her sway.

Describing the beauty and attraction from the “new” woman the man fell for.

Her beauty, to the man, is just like a kind of “religious love” which makes him admire.

Revenge (stanza 3-4) Letitia Elizabeth Landon 'Tis well: I am revenged at last,—

Mark you that scornful cheek,—

The eye averted as you pass'd,

Spoke more than words could speak.

Ay, now by all the bitter tears

That I have shed for thee,—

The racking doubts, the burning fears,—

Avenged they well may be—

However, to the woman who is betrayed, she feels strong sadness.

Revenge (stanza 5-7) Letitia Elizabeth Landon By the nights pass'd in sleepless care, The days of endless woe; All that you taught my heart to bear, All that yourself will know.

I would not wish to see you laid Within an early tomb; I should forget how you betray'd, And only weep your doom: But this is fitting punishment, To live and love in vain,— Oh my wrung heart, be thou content, And feed upon his pain.

The abandoned woman warns the man that he will know how she feels in the future.

Revenge (stanza 8-9) Letitia Elizabeth Landon Go thou and watch her lightest sigh,—

Thine own it will not be;

And bask beneath her sunny eye,—

It will not turn on thee.

'Tis well: the rack, the chain, the wheel,

Far better hadst thou proved;

Ev'n I could almost pity feel,

For thou art nor beloved.

This is just like a curse: The abandoned woman talks to the man that you can appreciate the beauty of the woman you fall for, but she will NOT be yours and you will NOT be loved.

Revenge

She was in love with a man who did not love her back

but led her on and then betrayed her.

Now that man is suffering the same treatment from

another woman.

Conclusion Riful Zhou 400110033

The three poems all have a shared basis of the decline of love and incurable sadness.

When the lamp is shattered The light in the dust lies dead

But they are different within the shift of the tones.

“When the Lamp is Shattered” mourns for the

desperate love which may never return.

“To—[Music, when soft voices die]” shows a

little hope that may revive.

“Revenge” reveals the cruel cold condemnation

by the previous lover.

All in all, based on the similar failed love, the three poems give different attitudes of miserable, hopeful and revengeful upon the faded relationship.

Miserable

Hopeful

Revengeful
