1. OVERALL - mostly in accentual verse ; fixed number of stressed
syllables per line until line 5 and 7
- ABAB CDCD; follows the sonnet form until ' thy vows are
all broken' - can show theme of natural pairs
- dactylic meter (1 stressed, 2 unstressed)
2. when we two - the use of the consonant 's' sound invokes a sombre
parted in silence moods and introduces the poem as one full with melan-
and tears choly
- lexical field of grieving 'silence' , 'parted' , 'tears' to
link with the 'knell' later on and shows corpse like state-
detached from the world
- alliteration of 'w' alludes to the writers incapability to talk
properly
-juxtaposition of 'silence' and 'tears'
3. 'silence' - 'silence' and 'tears' have sibilance in the 'c' and 's' sound
to emphasises how he is in almost mourning and grieving
'tears' for the death of his love
- 'silence' to correspond to the emptiness in his heart and
perhaps the sudden stillness of the world as if time itself
has stopped and he is stuck in this awful situation
- has connotation of repression to show how he feels
trapped
- unable to articulate his words, linking with the 'w' alliter-
ation
- 'tears' to explicitly reveal grieving to show his previous
attachment and current vulnerability; he is need of anchor-
age
4. pale grew thy - repetition of cold and the harsh 'k' sound emphasises the
cheek and cold, physical and emotional coldness between them and how
colder thy kiss the love has been lost
