I carry your heart with me http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse/80/3#!/20591783

analysis An explanation is made for every assertion given (seen in parentheses throughout the poem) The tone is different in the parentheses References to the earth compare his lover to gigantic bodies, saying she is everything to him, romantic hyperbole The form highlights certain aspects of the poem The single line at the end “I fear” put off to the side

analysis Can be applicable to romantic, agape, and familial love The third stanza gets to the heart of the matter, reiterating that selfless devotion is essential to true love Carries a sonnet-like tone or that of a ballad, though deviating from number of lines Modern enjambment balances out the clichés within the poem to give the writer a balanced voice

analysis Great use of parallelism and anaphora over stuffy rhyme and meter while still making the poem “lyrical” Repetition of the "here is the" clause in lines 10-11 creates a familiar rhythm without sticking to a particular meter Not a traditional setting with swans and gardens Takes place within the speaker’s heart

analysis Title prepares the reader to view the poem with experimental “fresh eyes”, so to speak Alliteration is present in lines 3 and 4 “dear”, “done”, “darling” Not overrun with sweet and sappy adjectives, instead punctuated with comparisons and modern ideas "you are whatever a moon has always meant."
