![]() “A Birthday” and “First Love” both have references to nature. First Love”, “How Do I Love Thee” and “A Birthday” are all typical romantic poems. “Remember” once again is different form both of the other poems, it does not at all state anything about her love to her partner but only what he should do after she goes. My legs refused to walk away,” expressing love with this kind of language seems much exaggerated compared to how Elizabeth Barrett Browning does it in “How Do I Love Thee”, she just talks about how she feels within herself and her soul, “I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach,” she does not say anything about how she is physically but just mentally. ![]() In “First Love” the reaction to love is mainly stated through the physical actions, “My face turned pale as deadly pale. ” She wants him to be happy when she is gone. ![]() Instead of saying that they will not forget their love even after they die, Christina Rosetti tells her love to forget about her after she dies because she does not want him to think of her and get upset, “Better by far you/ should forget and smile Than that you should remember me and be sad. Remember” compared to “How Do I Love Thee” and “First Love” is giving out a different message. The poem “How Do I Love Thee” is written about her love, possibly her husband but John Clare’s is about someone else, somebody he does not know, in this case it could be unrequited love, where she may not feel the same way about him.
