Analysis & Annotation of 'Porphyria's Lover'
Porphyria’s Lover by Robert Browning
[Insert the full poem here, approximately 20-30 lines, including the entire poem or a substantial excerpt]
The rain set early in to-night,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in Porphyria; straight
She shut the cold out and the storm,
And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
And, sitting down, her head, which droops
Upon her arm, and her face, which she
Leans on—it is but the wind that moans!
And nothing else. The Rhyme: Porphyria’s Lover
