SDecorte - Connotative level in the extract from Wordsworth's ode

 

 

It is difficult to make an analysis of the different levels of connotation since this is only an extract from the ode.

The rhyme scheme is generally in alternate rhyme to make the poem more fluent. The music quality of the poem effects the reader with its sonorous rhythm. Alliterations, which are the repetition of: "i" sound in "The things which I have seen I now can see no more. Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" and in "He sees it in his joy"; "o" sound in "From God, who is our home", contribute to the effect.

Syntax is more complicated than the one in the poems we have read so far, through the use of search terms and use of complex sentences. Also accumulate the effect create emphasis.
