CHAPTER

DISCUSSION
2.1
Explanation About Objective Approach
The
objective approach to a poem begins with a full description of the poem’s phisycal
or technical properties. The reader should try to elucidate the poet’s methods
and meaning in an entirely objective way. The critic so probably begin by
presenting the most elementry information about the poem, its length, its rhyme
scheme, etc. And then procced to more complex information.
The methods to analysis
of poetry:
1) Basic versification
a. Rhythm and metrics
Rhythm
in poetry iscreated by the patterns of repeated sounds in term of both duration
and quality and ideas.
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow!
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low!
b. Rhyme
Rhyme in poetry refers
to the identify of sound at the ends of lines.
Perfect
rhyme: Perfect rhymes, sometimes called exact rhymes, occurs when the streessed
vowels following differing consonant sounds are identical-slow and grow-and any
following sounds are identical-fleet and street, buying, and crying, bring and
sings.
Half-rhyme
or approximate rhyme: occurs when the final consonant sounds of rhyming words
are identical. The stressed vowel sounds and any preceding consonant sounds
differ.
As
man may, he fought his fight,
Proved
his truth by his endeavor;
Let
him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep
forever and forever
Fold
him in his country’s stars,
Roll
the drum and fire the volley!
What
to him are all our wars,
What
but death bemocking folly?
c.
Masculine Rhyme: occurs when the final syllables of the rhyming words are
stressed. After the difference in the initial consonants, the words are
identical in sound-contort and purport.
Example: fight-night
Foeman-woman
Volley-folly
Feminine
Rhyme: is the rhyming of stressed syllables followed by identical unstressed
syllables-treasure and pleasure.
Example: stars-wars
Snow-know
d.
Internal rhyme is the rhyming words are found within the line, often a word in
the middle of a line rhyming with the last word or sound in the line.
Example: Close his eyes; his work is done
What
to him is friend or foeman,
Rise
of moon, set of sun,
Hand
of man, or kiss of woman?
We
should notice, through the example of “foeman” and “woman”, that using internal
rhyme does not in any way.
e.
Rhyme-sceme is the pattern of rhyme in a poem or a stanza, we label the first
sound “a”, the next “b”, then “c”, “d”, etc.
As
man may, he fought his fight,
Proved
his truth by his endeavor; sonet
Let
him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep
forever and forever,
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow! sestet
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low!
This
poetry consist of Octave stanzaic form: is stanza composed of eight lines;
specifically, an octave is the name given to the first eight lines of a sonnet,
the last being a sestet (see).
f. Alliteration
(initial rhyme): The same sound starts several words.
Example: Close his eyes; his work is done
What
to him is friend or foeman,
Rise
of moon, set of sun,
Hand
of man, or kiss of woman?
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow!
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low!

Poetry
For
example, we can analysis this poetry to take an objective approach created by
George Henry Boker:
Dirge For A Soldier
Close
his eyes; his work is done
What
to him is friend or foeman,
Rise
of moon, set of sun,
Hand
of man, or kiss of woman?
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow!
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low!
As
man may, he fought his fight,
Proved
his truth by his endeavor;
Let
him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep
forever and forever,
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow!
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low!
Fold
him in his country’s stars,
Roll
the drum and fire the volley!
What
to him are all our wars,
What
but death bemocking folly?
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow!
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low
Leave
to God a watching eye,
Trust
him to the hand that made him,
Mortal
love weeps idly by:
God
alone has power to old him.
Lay
him low, lay him low,
In
the clover or the snow!
What
cares him? He cannot know;
Lay
him low
We
would begin our decription of the poem by nothing it is composed of four
eight-line stanzas, each with a rhyme pattern of “a-b-a-b”.
