| "A lovely Apparition" | Too perfect to be real Not physical - can disappear at any moment Haunts his sight and mind (she is constantly on his mind) |
| "a moment's ornament" | Beauty (ornament's only purpose is to decorate) Shallowness and possessiveness. She is an object belonging to him |
| "From May-time to the cheerful Dawn" | Pathetic fallacy, imagery, beauty Personification of Spring - She is bright and brings new life Nature created her with the most beautiful things |

| "And now I see with eye serene" | Volta Their relationship has matured |
| "The very pulse of the machine" | Machine - She was made for a purpose, and is perfect (machines do not make mistakes) 'Pulse' reminds us that she is human |
