CHIMES: 6 by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: BURIED BARS IN THE BREAKWATER
Last Line: AND A BREAKING HEART TO BEAR.
Subject(s): ALLITERATIVE VERSE;

Buried bars in the breakwater
And bubble of the brimming weir.

Body's blood in the breakwater
And a buried body's bier.

Buried bones in the breakwater
And bubble of the brawling weir.

Bitter tears in the breakwater
And a breaking heart to bear.
