What Is The Mood Of The Poem The Highwayman

Many other internal rhymes are also found within the lines of the poem. In fact, the first line of the poem contains an internal rhyme “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary”. Another example is found in Line 31 which reads “Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,” The poem is rife with such examples.

The poem also uses end rhyme to add a certain rhythm to the poem as a whole. And the scheme he employs: aabbc, aabd, aabbad. End rhyme, in this poem, serves to effectively pull the reader through to the end of the poem. By pairing it with lines restricted to eight syllables. The narrator creates an almost nursery-rhyme like rhythm. In his third stanza however, his last line, cutting short of eight syllables, stands with an emphatic four syllables. Again, in the last stanza, he utilizes the same technique for the last line of the poem. The narrator’s awareness of rhyme and syllable structure provides the perfect bone structure for his poem’s rhythm.

This essay will be about The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. He wrote it in 1908 in August. Think that he used a lot of imagery in his poem because it made me imagine a lot of stuff about like what's going on in the poem like when i described like what people look like and what's going on in the poem . This poet alfred noyes did a really good job on his poem because it had a lot of stuff poems would have in it like imagery,metaphor,simile,and personification.He also used them in places where they should be like he started of with describing how the highwayman look and that really grabbed my attention.

The power words within poetry have is astonishing. Poetry has the power to paint gorgeous and captivating pictures. Often times, even the vaguest lines in poetry portray pictures in people’s minds. This figurative illustration is called imagery. Imagery provides writers the ability to give their poems and stories a pictorial feel to readers. This is very common in poetry. Poems that depict imagery include “The Eagle,” “Winter,” and “Acquainted with the Night.”

Alliteration and consonance do appear in most of the poem. For instance, in the second paragraph, “…. big black man …. (Hughes stanza 7)” Another example is when the Sargeant got chased from the church, “…Huh! hongry…… (Hughes paragraph 8).” I think the

In addition, the poem uses imagery extensively; words like "drowsy," "rocking," "pale dull pallor," "lazy sway," "rickety stool," and "raggy tune" portray the

Imagery really helps the reader understand what the poem or piece of writing is saying in a visual standpoint. An example of this is in the poem “ Love Sonnet XVII” “ I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because i know no other way.” the author wanted to show a visual image of love, and how you love someone, with a true meaning. The author gives a sensation of touch, as if loved ones were near. Another example is from the poem “ I Like For you To Be Still” “ I like for you to be still. it is as though you are absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you it seems as though your eyes had flown away. it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth as all things are filled with my soul You emerge from the things filled with my soul, you are my soul. a butterfly of dream and you are like the word: Melancholy.” There is visual imagery because it is trying to give a picture of motionless love, silence and peace. Showing a image of a man probably talking about his love for his wife. One last example is from the poem “ The Summer Day” “ who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, i mean- the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who

Rhyme is the next device of sound to be analyzed. “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” has masculine, end rhymes; for example know, though, and queer, near. There is slant rhyme such as assonance and consonance. The evidence of assonance is in the first two lines of the first stanza, I’ll take it line by line. Line one, “… I think I know.” Line two, “… is in …” The first example for consonance rhyme lies in the beginning of the second line of the first verse. “His house…” and the second example is in the first line of the third verse; “He gives his harness …” The word wood is repeated four times throughout the poem which identifies anaphora, and at the end of the poem the last

There is a rhythm throughout the poem with strong rhyme, this pattern is like heavy breathing you have when you try to go to sleep it could also represent the rhythmical counting of sheep.

There is a constant rhyming scheme throughout the poem, the first line rhymes with the second, and the third rhymes with the fourth. Examples include ‘grass’ and ‘glass’, ‘through’ and ‘blue’, and ‘face’ and ‘space’ There is, however, no set rhythm for the amount of syllables in each line: ‘Straws like tame lightning lie about the grass / And hang zigzag on hedges. Green as glass.’ The first line has nine syllables and the second has ten. This reminds me of the recurring metaphor of life throughout the poem: the structure itself could embed some of its meaning.

The structure of the poem is in two stanzas of different lengths. The first stanza has 11 lines, while the second stanza has 13. The rhyme scheme is: AAABBCCDDBB EEFFGGGHHIIJJBB which adds rhythm and flow to reading the poem. There are examples of alliteration and assonance in particular in the couplets at the end of each stanza, such as the “s” and “d” in the words “see or seem” and “dream” and “dream” and assonance in all of them which is the “ee”

The poem itself is divided up into five, ten- lined stanzas. The stanzas are organized by different rhyme schemes. In the beginning of the lines, all stanzas have abab as the first four lines. However, the first stanza follows a pattern of cdedce, which is revisited in stanza five. Following that, the second stanza last six lines are cdeced, and the third and fourth stanzas are cdecde.

Rhyme is found all throughout the poem and has a huge effect on the reader. Blake used rhyme and detail to create some more wicked thoughts of the Tyger in the readers mind. Each stanza is made up of two couplets. Because these couplets keep a steady going rhyme, we

Coleridge focuses on imagination and emotion over reason is a defining trait of this poem. The lack of reason and ever changing, evolving structure almost overpowers the readers senses when first read. This is obvious when looking at its different stanzas; each stanza is of a different length, with an ever changing rhyming scheme. This ever changing style gives the poem a hypnotic quality when read and captures the readers mind with little trouble. The
