1. Break, Break, Break By: Alfred Lord Tennyson

2. Break, break, break, On thy cold grey stones, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O Well for the fishermans boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O Well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay! Break, break, break, On thy cold grey stones, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O Well for the fishermans boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O Well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay!

3. And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me. And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead Will never come back to me.

4. Repetition Defined: A basic artistic device, fundamental to any conception of poetry. It is a highly effective unifying force; the repetition of sound, syllables, words, syntactic elements, lines, stanzaic forms, and metrical patterns establishes cycles of expectation which are reinforced with each successive fulfillment (Bob). soundsyntacticlinesstanzaic metricalBob Defined: A basic artistic device, fundamental to any conception of poetry.
