Poem analysis. Essay -- English Literature
Poem analysis.    POEM    The deathly child is very gay,    He walks in the sunshine but no shadow falls his way.    He has come to warn us that one must go who would rather stay    Oh deathly child    With a hear of woe    And a smile on your face,    Who is it that must go?    He walks down the avenue, the trees    Have leaves that are silver when they are turned upon the breeze    He is more pale than the silver leaves more pale that these    He walks delicately,    He has a delicate tread.    Why look, he leaves no mark at all    Where the dust is spread    Over the cafà © tables the talk is going to and fro    An the people smile and they frown, but they do not know    That the deathly child walks. Ah who is it that must go?    I think that this poem is about the angel of death who is here to take  the soul of a person. The first text gives us a brief outline of the  poem. From the second to the fourth text we find a description of the  deathly child and the last text gives the perception of the public as  from the deathly child's own perspective. The deathly child decides  whose soul to take as he passes the people.    The language of the text has an interesting rhythm effect which has  some underlying regularity mixed with variation. In the first, middle  and last text, the last word in each stanza all rhyme, however the  last word in the second and fourth stanza rhymes.which appears to look  like this: -    1st text all rhymes    2nd text 2nd and 4th stanza rhymes    3rd text all rhymes    4th text 2nd and 4th stanza rhymes    5th text all rhymes    I have also noticed that when looking at the poem, these rhythmic  words have only one-word syllables, when pronounced they are stressed.    The first, third and fifth texts have...              ...e leaves no mark at all  where the dust is spread". I think that the writer writes in this  particular way, because the writer is describing the deathly child as  something different from the humans. If someone does not have a  shadow, it means that they do not have a soul. When it says "he leaves  not mark at all where the dust is spread" is shows that the deathly  child cannot be seen.    Graphology: all lines begin with a capital letter because to give  relations between speech and writing. And there are no two sentences  within the same line, except the last stanza, which not only has a  capital at the beginning of the line but also in the next sentence. I  have also noticed that all the stanzas in the middle text begin with  the letter "h" and the first letters in the first and second texts are  also represented in the third and fifth text but in different order.
