SONNET My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lies red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask39;d, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. William Shakespeare A RED, RED ROSE О, my Luve is like a red, red rose, Thats newly sprung in June. O, my luve is like the melodie, Thats sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I, And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a the seas gang dry. Till a the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt with the sun! And I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve, And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my luve, Tho it were ten thousand mile! Robert Burns FROM THE LIGHT THAT FAILED Roses red, and roses white Plucked I for my loves delight. She would none of my great.poses Bade me gather her blue roses. Half the world I wandered through Seeking where such flowers grew. Half the world upon my quest Answered but with laugh and jest. It may be beyond the grave She will find what she will have: Oh, it was an idle quest Roses red, and white are best. Rudyard Kipling

1 The first and the third poems thoroughly written with respect to the rhythm and rhyme.
For the second author, the pleasing combinations of sound and expression of emotions
seem more important than a perfect form. The effect of this carelessness is to increase
the emotional strength, whereas the other poems are more a product of reason.
2 Shakespeare: The main body and the conclusion are separated, so that the reader
doesnt miss it.
Bums: The verses are of equal length with a lot of repetition. It looks like a song created
on the spot to express the mood.
Kipling: The three verses are of equal length, very orderly, polished.
3 In each poem there are such instances. For example, But no such roses see 1 in her
cheeks. (Shakespeare); So deep in luve I am! (Bums); Roses red and roses
white/plucked I for my loves delight. (Kipling) Fach time the emotional component is
increased. Compare to I see no such roses in her cheeks or I am so deep in love
or l plucked white and red roses for my loves delight.
4 There are words like this in Shakespeares sonnet, for example the low
style reeks is used to strengthen the gap between the accepted way of talking about
love and real love; Bums piece is full of exaggerations; Kipling chooses literary words.
5 In the first poem we learn a lot about her physical features: appearance, the way
she moves, speaks, etc. In the second poem there is no description at all. We only learn
about the narrator s feelings towards her. It is a sort of self portrait. In the third poem
we know more about her personality than her physical appearance.
6 My love is not as beautiful as a goddess, she is much better, because she is real.
My love is so strong!
We live on the Earth, we can never experience heavenly love.
7 Shakespeare emphasizes the opposition between the accepted (and therefore
less substantialVaguer) image of unearthly beauty and a real woman. This can be
traced in every line or in every two lines. The conclusion is separated from the rest
so that the reader does not iniss it.
Bums: Four-line verses come one after another. There is no strict logical connection
between them. They seem to come spontaneously. They might go on and on like that.
Kipling: Very logical development: exposition/ starting point, quest/ development,
result/ conclusion. The First and the last lines contain almost the same words. This
gives the impression of an accomplished and polished piece of work, in which no word
can be added or taken away.
