Advertisements

Solution

The poet has used visual imagery, auditory , tactile and kinaesthetic imagery. Visual imagery is there in the following lines :‘lt was roses, roses, all the way,’ ‘the church-spires flames, such flags they had,’ ‘Just a palsied few at the windows set;
Auditory images abound in the lines: ‘The air broke into a mist with bells, /The old walls rocked with the crowd and cries.’
Tactile images are found in: ‘A rope cuts both my writs behind;/And think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds,’
Kinesthetic imagery in “The house-tops seemed to heave and sway”/ Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun
To give it my loving friends to keep!

It was roses, roses, all the way,
With myrtle mixed in my path like mad;
The house-roofs seemed to heave and sway,
The church-spires flamed, such flags they had,
A year ago on this very day.
