Derozio must have come under influence of
Elizabethan poets.

6. Derozio’s style and choice of words which is
called Diction show how successfully
Derozio has embedded a set of poetic
technique from those poets . These line are,
“Affection are not made for merchandise
What will give in barter for the heart?
Has this word wealth enough to buy the
store of hopes ,and feelings,
Which are linked forever with women’s soul?

varying mood of the poem. Sometimes it is
very sweet.
o We can say that it is not just his choice of
words but also his care in organizing these
words in an order , which produces the same
mood as is produced by the words. This
quality makes him a true poet.

can be set to music too as there are rhymes
and rhythms.

through the repetition of sounds.

collage Derozio of thoughts, music, expression,
cultural belief and indelible expressions.

day is compared with the awakening of the child
as his simile brings heavenly feeling likewise the
morning is a time when everything is new.
• That feeling is normal. Sun is also used as an
simile .Sun is compared to a golden urn.

images and rhymes, Derozio has written this
beautiful poem. Through this poem he uses
the simile , metaphor and rhyme scheme .
