"A Red, Red rose" written by Robert Burns in the 16th century, is a romantic poem in which the author used metaphors to describe love in a fantastic, dream-like manner, exaggerating even the lenght of his love to a time in which the sea would be dry. The author's style and composition, used to recreate a traditional Scottish song, creates a very strong rythmic pattern that never breaks throughout the poem, giving the reader the feeling of very intense passion, not only through hyperboles and simile, but through the repetion of the poem's mood.

"Sonnet 43" or "How do I love thee" written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a 17th century poem which also eludes to romance but in terms that seem less stereotypical than Burns' poem. In it, Barrett Browning starts by asking a question and proceeding to answer throughout the poem, using anaphora to give emphasis to the purpose of her description of love. Unlike "A Red, Red rose", "Sonnet 43" uses more analogy than metaphor to describe the deep mood of love, comparing the author's feeling to strong sentiments of men and the bearings of her childhood.

Both poems exagerrate the amount of love felt by both authors for their loved ones and the lenght of time their love will last.

Burns gives his love a sense of immortality by writing: "And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry:"

and Barrett browning writes: "I shall but love thee better after death."
