  1. Woodspurge By DanteGabriel Rossetti Cindy, Peiyan and Chen

  2. Sense A sad, lonely, confused person. Not much going on in the poem Barely doing anything A strong negative word “Dead” “Grief” -the only direct sense of depression in the whole poem.

  3. Imagery 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.

  4. Figurative language In the first stanza, there is repetition of the word 'wind' in line 1 and 3, this is showing the repetition of the trees swaying from side to side. There is personification in stanza 2 and 3, and the things he says make it seem like he's losing control of himself because he's so distraught.

  5. Tone “Walking at wind’s will” Directionless, aimless Eyes fixed upon 10 weeds “My” “My” “From perfect grief there need not be Wisdom or even memory;”

  6. Structure Rhymescheme: aaaa, bbbb, cccc, dddd 4 Stanzas

  7. Emotion Emptiness Nakedness Vulnerability

  8. Intention A very precise and delicate description of the depressed people. Too depressed, too shocked to think or judge anything at all. All that remains is the little woodspurge
