There is always hope in dark times
Revisiting the title after reading the poem, we concluded:
5
Cold and Dreary
Staying hopeless like an idle turtle on its back.
The somber and sober rain stirs
Grey, dreary, muggy, and dark
The sun still shines behind the clouds,
Being a symbol of ambition
Finding myself throughout
It maybe cold and dreary
But the light from the sun shines through.
The shift starts on line 6, where the subject changes from talking about a boat to it being compared to a child.
"Like some lost child"- Simile
"In tears and trouble
Hunting the harbor's breast
And the harbor's eyes."- Metaphor
The tone and mood in this story makes the reader feel "Desolate and Lonely" as it states in the poem.
The diction in this poem creates a feeling of desperation. The mist "creeps" up on the boat as it "calls and cries unendingly." It's like there is no chance for the boat and it'll never be found.
The author uses a simile to compare the calls and cries of the boat to a child who is lost and misses home which is the harbor in this situation.
The author uses this alliteration to attract people to continue reading on. He could’ve also used this to give the poem a more lyrical feel.
"Desolate and lone
All night long on the lake"- Alliteration
"Where fog trails and mist creeps,"-Personification
Sandburg used a metaphor for the harbor's eyes, which can be compared to a lighthouse.
"Where fog trails and mist creeps,"-Imagery
He uses personification to emphasize and to give the reader a description of how the fog and mist is moving across the lake.
The author uses imagery to create a vivid image of how lonely the harbor is.
"The whistle of a boat
Calls and cries unendingly,"-Consonance
Desolate and lone
All night long on the lake
Where fog trails and mist creeps
The author uses "S" as consonance in the poem to lose it's lyrical feel and add a hasher feel to it.
The lake is desolate and lone.
Fog trails and mist creeps
The whistle of a boat
Calls and cries unendingly
Like some lost child
The boat constantly whistle, cries, and calls like a child
In tears and trouble
Hunting the harbor's breast
And the harbor's eyes
During hardships, hunting the harbor's breast and eyes
Based off the title we concluded:
5
Desolate and lone
All night long on the lake
Where fog trails and mist creeps,
The whistle of a boat
Calls and cries unendingly,
Like some lost child
In tears and trouble
Hunting the harbor's breast
And the harbor's eyes.
