For my presentation ı need the analysis of this poem.Please help me.I have difficulty in analyzing.Or if you know please give me a web page where ı can find some information.Here John keat's poem is:
I.


You say you love; but with a voice
Chaster than a nun's, who singeth
The soft Vespers to herself
While the chime-bell ringeth -
O love me truly!



II.


You say you love; but with a smile
Cold as sunrise in September,
As you were Saint Cupid's nun,
And kept his weeks of Ember.
O love me truly!



III.


You say you love - but then your lips
Coral tinted teach no blisses.
More than coral in the sea -
They never pout for kisses -
O love me truly!



IV.


You say you love; but then your hand
No soft squeeze for squeeze returneth,
It is like a statue's dead -
While mine to passion burneth -
O love me truly!



V.


O breathe a word or two of fire!
Smile, as if those words should burn be,
Squeeze as lovers should - O kiss
And in thy heart inurn me!
O love me truly!

i am not really good at analyzing poems, but from what i can get from the poem is that whoever is loving this person, it is through friendship and not as lovers would.
if that helps at all, then i am not as clueless as i think.

hi there, I think , from my own point of view, that there is a kind of conversation or an argument between tow persons ,man and a woman. One of them is arguing that the other does not love him or her as he or she spposed to do. He or She is asking the other one to love him or her "truley",as lovers should be. :oops: Throughout the poem, the mad lover is giving evidences for the other's carelessness and cold feelings in treating him or her. I think the careless lover is bored of this reationship,while the other has tried his or her best to keep this relation.
I hope what I've wrote was helpful to you ,and I am sorry if it was not ;)

Hi. It looks like the 'I' of the poem wants the other to show her love. He's asking for physical love, for burning passion.
It is quite tempting to link it with Keats's biography. He was in love with Fanny Brawne (his letters to her are published), but he was very jealous. Their relationship was always unstable. He fell ill, and she visited him regularly, but he always suspected she was seeing other men. There are several interpretations: some say she did see other men, others say their love was mutual. Anyway: he left for Rome, because of his tuberculosis. He died there.
It could be that this poem is a cry from him to her, to show her love for him more clearly. But you can never be sure about this kind of biographical interpretations.

You will certainly find valuable information and links via the 'Voice of the Shuttle' homepage: http://vos.ucsb.edu
Just type in Keats in the search-thingy and you'll find a whole list of sites about Keats and his poetry. Hope this helped :)
