Examine how To the evening star can be considered as a poem

which glorifies nature

• Romanticism-praising and glorifying nature
• Evening star-representative of whole nature
• Use of archaic language-giving an honorable/reverent
feeling
• Imagery (metaphor/simile) used-fair hair’d angel-beauty,
glamor, respect, grace
Image of a queen with a crown
• The whole poem is a plea to the star that shows the poet
believes in the power of the star
• What the poet asks the star to do-enlighten the whole
world with love, spread the love against darkness
• Refreshing the withering flowers
• West wind sleep on the lake-controlling power of
destructive elements
• The predatory animals are afraid to come out during the
presence of evening star-power of goodness and virtue
• Last plea-to protect them with thine influence-the poet
believes in the star’s power for their protection
• Alliteration of sibilance-creating a soothing, serene effect
• Nature is not disturbing like industrialization-it makes
people relaxed
