During the 19th Century, You wrote an apostrophe that addresses deep despair. In fact, this sadness is a synonym for melancholy. Indeed, You have used a variety of figurative language to contribute to the overall effect of the ode by painting pictures of different emotions at large. Not only have You utilized various tropes but You have also incorporated numerous sonic techniques that bring the human heart to life. The following explication will further identify the different stylistic elements, which are a contribution to Your poem's basic meaning.
First of all, You have employed varied repetition in all three stanzas. For example, You have worked with palilogy when You have repeated "no(r) in lines 1 and 6. A clear case in point of this repetitiveness involves Your emphasis on Your article "the" in verses 6, 8, 10, and 16. In addition, You have embedded the alliteration of "hides" and "hill" in row 14. Similarly, You have inserted Your perfect rhyme in "die" and "nigh" in succession 21 as well as 23.

Of course, Your words "fit" and "fall" exemplify Your alliterative consonance since they begin with coequal consonants. Likewise, there is Your assonance in Your title and Your tenth line of poetry. Surely, the common morphemes "ode" and "of" represents this initial rhyme. Equally, there are the modifiers or/on/of in units 16-17.

Certainly, this is actually a metaphor and You have embellished Your lyric with several of these comparisons. In particular, You have mentioned the "Ruby Grape of Proserpine" and the "Rosary of Yew-Berries (4-5). You also have personification, e.g. " She dwells with Beauty (21)." You additionally have a simile in phrase twelve, i.e. "Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud (12)."
In summary, You have adorned Your metrical composition with multiple figures of speech so that we can empathize with the feelings of Your people in general. Nonetheless, the gist of this poesy is about deep despair and this is the denotation of melancholy. Some other related words are gloom, joylessness, heartsickness, and sorrow. Moreover, Your authentic communication is actually an allusion of Proverbs 13:12b in which You say that "a dream deferred makes the heart sick." Undoubtedly, watching Your family members suffer does make the heart sick and our minds are outraged whenever anyone in Your Church gets bullied by Satan the Devil....
