Certain descriptive and commonly use words within the poem that we use in our daily lives that allows us to form connections with others. These are words many use often to show compassion and emotions towards people they hold dear. This is in stark contrast to the Browning sonnet “How Do I Love Thee?” which takes a more musical and whimsical approach to describing love. In the poem we witness lines such as “I love you to the depths, breadths and heights/My soul reaches.” The approach is similar to that of a song, and goes by a pattern or creative inspiration from music. Both works attempt to describe what love is but they choose to do so in different ways.
