Question

Examine 'one day I wrote her name ' as a Sonnet.​

Answer 1

One day I wrote her name upon the strand is an amazing sonnet written by Edmund Spencer.

Explanation:

• This is a traditional love sonnet. It can be broken into four parts.

• The speaker of this poetry wants to immortalize the woman he is in love with by trying to write her name in the sand.

• However, it gets washed away by tides. This explains that nothing in this world is permanent and everything is temporary. The woman he wants to immortalize will eventually die too.

• He also recalls all the memories he has with his lover at the seaside.
