To A Lost One
Angela Manalang-Gloria
I shall haunt you, O my lost one, as the twilight
Haunts a grieving bamboo trail,
And your dreams will linger strangely with the music
Of a phantom lover’s tale
You shall not forget, for I am past forgetting
I shall come to you again
With the starlight, and the scent of wild champakas,
And the melody of rain.
You shall not forget. Dusk will peer into your
Window, tragic-eyed and still,
And unbidden startle you into remembrance
With its hand upon the sill.
To a lost one
The poem To a lost one for me, is a poem all about death. A dark
atmosphere is created when reading the lines of the poem. Trails, or hints of
emotion can be found within the text.And for me, I think that these emotions
are what's dominant on the whole poem. By Psychological Approach is perhaps the
most effective approach that we can use when it comes to these situations. The
Psychological Approach does not only focus on the behavior and characteristics
that can be found on the characters or from the writer of a piece of literature
but it can also discuss the emotions that are present there.
Moving on to the analysis of
the first paragraph, from what I have interpreted of the poem, it seems
like the point of view is from the dead person instead of the one grieving for
him. Such is said due to the use of words made by the writer. Grief is the
emotion that can be seen on the first paragraph. The one who died expresses his
sadness for being separated from his loved one. This grief tends to affect the
person who was loved and is haunting her. As what is said from lines 2-4, the
ghost haunts the dream of the girl and there lingers a strange music with it.
The second paragraph focuses on the emotion of
not wanting to be forgotten. The so called ghost still wants to be remembered
by the girl. And his way of making her remember him is through the help of
nature. The signs of nature that are produced serves as the representation of
himself for the girl to see. From the light of the stars at night, to the scent
of
Champakas, and even from the melody of the rain.
On the last paragraph, the person who died or the guy
stated firmly that the girl will definitely not forget him. He is sure that his
efforts will reach the girl and make her remember of him. Overall the poem
expresses emotions such as grief and regret for the person who died still
cannot move on to the next life. Maybe by making the girl remember him can ease
some of his pain and help him passover to the next life.
