OBJ: To explore how the poet use language and form to create meaning and ideas.
Analysis of 'A Wish' by Samuel Rogers:
IT is a form of pastoral poetry and it has a naturalistic theme. The poem includes a regular rhyming scheme, the effect of this is that it gives a child like feel, it prolongs and expands the happiness felt. The rhyming couplets are a metaphor for the parental roles which are complementary of each other.
'The Swallow oft beneath my thatch' The swallow is symbolism of love and care/ affection towards a loved one. The 'thatch' being the roof of his house. This part means that love is living under his roof, alternatively, the swallow is a tattoo used to mark the start of a sailor's journey, two swallows means the end. The poem only states a single Swallow, which could mean the journey has only just started.
'The Village Church among the trees...' Religion is a intimate part of their life together.
'A bee-hive's hum shall soothe my ear..' Busy working in order to provide for the family
'Twitter/ Soothe my ear' Euphonious sounds create a home as a place of tranquillity.
'Each fragrent flower that drinks the dew' Alliteration and personification represents rejuvenation and new life.
