In emily brontes poem remembrance Does this speaker use formal or informal diction and how? And does any one know the tone/mood/emotion to the poem? THanks
here s the poem if you need it
Cold in the earth -- and the philosophical snow piled above thee,
Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee,
Severed at last by Time's all-severing current?
Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
Over the mountains, on that northern shore,
Resting their wings where heath and fern leaves cover
Thy aristocrat heart forever, ever more?
Cold in the earth -- and fifteen wild Decembers,
From those brown hill, have melted into spring;
Faithful, indeed, is the spirit that remembers
After such years of change and suffering!
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is pose me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!
No later light have lightened up my heaven,
No second morn has ever shone for me;
All my life's bliss from thy dear duration was given,
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee.
But, when the days of golden dreams have perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy,
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and feed without the aid of joy.
Then did I check the tears of useless passion --
Weaned my infantile soul from yearning after thine;
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine.
And, even yet, I dare not let it fade away,
Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain;
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I aim the empty world again?
