A
Introduction and Extract
In silent night when rest I took, / For sorrow near I did not look, / I, weeping, by the lonely brook, / My heart was heavy, hopes all shook. / When first we met, how bright the day, / Your smile still haunts me, far away. / The past, a shadow on the wall, / Reminds me of our fleeting call. / Time, like a thief, stole all our cheer, / Now silent echoes I hold dear. / Memories linger, bittersweet, / In every song, in every street. / Our love was like a fleeting tweet, / Gone viral but incomplete. / The pain of parting, sharp and deep, / Lingers in my soul’s retreat.

Analysis of Poetic Techniques
Lord Byron’s 'When We Two Parted' is a poem rich in poetic devices that deepen its emotional impact. The rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG creates a musical quality that enhances the theme of longing. The volta, or turn, often appears at the poem’s midpoint, signaling a shift from nostalgic longing to pain and regret. Byron employs metaphors such as comparing memories to shadows and echoes, emphasizing their persistence despite time. Caesuras are used to break lines sharply, mimicking the abruptness of heartbreak.
