Analysis and comments on Sonnet LXI: Since There's No Help by Michael Drayton

Since theres no help

This is NOT a 3 stanza "closed form" poem. It is a sonnet from the sequence 'Idea' republished in 1619. Also Anne being his girlfriend was a theory not a fact. Some theory's say that she didnt love him back and this poem just shows his passion for her and his inner emotion of pain and sadness of being alone as Drayton did die single. It implies this theory in the line "I myself can free". It does however imply also that he does want to contine loving her and could also have implications of his own death.

Michael Drayton's "Since There's No Help" is a three stanza closed form poem, and in each stanza uses a different tone to express the process of a guy denying his real feelings after a break-up, but his true feeling comes out and its possible recovery.Overall, the tone of this poem is kind of sad and helpless. Drayton exhibits his innermost emotion with his girlfriend to the reader. Grief and indignation are strains his painful heart. From this poem the reader can know how much he loves his girlfriend, and hope hopes she gives him one more chance.
