Romance Analysis

Author: Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe Type: Poetry Views: 3076

Romance, who loves to nod and sing,

With drowsy head and folded wing,

Among the green leaves as they shake

Far down within some shadowy lake,

To me a painted paroquet

Hath been- a most familiar bird-

Taught me my alphabet to say-

To lisp my very earliest word

While in the wild wood I did lie,

A child- with a most knowing eye.

Of late, eternal Condor years

So shake the very Heaven on high

With tumult as they thunder by,

I have no time for idle cares

Through gazing on the unquiet sky.

And when an hour with calmer wings

Its down upon my spirit flings-

That little time with lyre and rhyme

To while away- forbidden things!

My heart would feel to be a crime

Unless it trembled with the strings.

.: :.

The tone of this poem is pain and darkness, not romance. The poet writes about looking and finding love, but then loosing it. It is implying that romance is not easily found.

I have to analyze it too, I believe it is about pain and darkness...?

I have to analyze this for class. I think that it tells the tale of a man (Poe) looking, finding, and loosing love. My teacher said that its not about the romance that we normally think of though.

This poem did not speak to me at all, I was curb stomped by a screaming butch lesbian, hence, i do not feel romance.

.: Romance :.

As a child, Poe learned from romance, which he compares to a bird. "Down within some shadowy lake" is implying that romance is not easily found. Romance can bring the sky down. He cannot waste another moment while he could be taking advantage of this opportunity. He also says that it would "be a crime" not to mourn the loss of romance.
