Structure | AAAA rhyme scheme shows boring consistency, which could mean there is no excitement in a grief stricken dystopian world |
The wind flapp'd loose, the wind was still, Shaken out dead from tree and hill: I had walk'd on at the wind's will,— I sat now, for the wind was still. | The first line holds great antithesis The cacophony in the second line represents death and cruelty He is following the winds will as he has none of his own |
Between my knees my forehead was,— My lips, drawn in, said not Alas! My hair was over in the grass, My naked ears heard the day pass. | Synedoche for him being in a fetal position The lost rhyme shows how all is lost Naked is representing his vulnerability |
My eyes, wide open, had the run Of some ten weeds to fix upon; Among those few, out of the sun, The woodspurge flower'd, three cups in one | His vision is focused to what is between his knees They are unnatural and have negative connotation, metaphorically showing his grievance The wood spurge could be a connotation for the holy trinity |
From perfect grief there need not be Wisdom or even memory: One thing then learnt remains to me,— The woodspurge has a cup of three | Oxymoron of perfect and grief The woodspurge is a very powerful symbol to him |
