The poem The Sunlight on the Garden by Louis MacNeice can be seen as being as a sorrowful and war themed poem. It is the intention of this critical analysis to look at the essential ideas of the poem by looking at the technical features such as rhyme, rhythm, metre, word choice, sound and register.
The Sunlight on the Garden is broken into four stanza’s each with six lines. ...
The rhythm of The Sunlight on the Garden can at first be seen as Iambic but it levitates between that of a Trochaic rhythm too. ...
The metre of The Sunlight on the Garden is predominately Pentameter but has to an extent been manipulated. ... This can be seen with “When all is told” and “The earth compels,”
The use of sound in MacNeices poem The Sunlight on the Garden plays a vital role. ...
This can be seen in the first stanza with “on the garden/Hardens” , the repetition of the “a” sound force the word hardens to be stressed, and destroy the imagery of the sunlight in the previous line.
