The Comparison of Two Love Poems
The poem "How Do I Love Thee", by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and "What Lips My Lips Have Kissed", by Edna Vincent Millay are both
well–known poems that both have themes of love. (LIT, Kirszner & Mandell, Pg. 490). In both poems the poet helps the reader experience a
lot of emotion with the use of certain words. There are speakers in both poems. In Mrs. Browning's poem, the speaker is undefined, leaving
open that the speaker could be a he or she. Millay's poem which is written in first person, the speaker is more defined leading the reader to
believe it is a she who is talking about love in the past tense. Both poems are sonnets written with fourteen lines, and written in Italian style. When
comparing these poems we will be looking at the use of rhyme scheme and metaphors and how they were used to express emotions in these two
sonnet poems.
One of the most used love poems would have to be, "How Do I Love Thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It has been recited at many
weddings for people who use it to announce their love for each other. And if a person were to ask someone if they had ever heard of this poem
they would most likely get an answer of yes. In Mrs. Browning's poem she uses the repeating of the same words, "I Love Thee", over and over,
which gives the poem its rhythm. But yet she still uses the rhyming scheme at the end of sentences that rhyme like these two sentences, "I love
thee to the depth and breadth and height/My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight".
