You should know my situation,

I have lost weight, like a rope!

It seems like I can't even breathe.

I can't eat, I can't sleep well.

Love tortures me,

Sad thoughts are rippling in my heart.

You should know my situation,

I have lost weight, like a rope!

Not eating, not praying,

Restless and feeling melancholy.

Love tortures me,

Sad thoughts ripple in my heart.

The swan geese are not here,

It adds another layer of sadness.

I can’t sleep peacefully,

I have to watch the dawn for a whole month.

Love tortures me,

Sad thoughts ripple in my heart.

Without you, my love,

How can I be happy and cheerful?

You also know clearly,

I am confused and heartbroken.

Love tortures me,

Sad thoughts ripple in my heart.

Appreciation

Love, the eternal literary theme, always gives poets rich imagination and unlimited creative inspiration. They write about the sweetness of first love, their expectations for love, and their helplessness when they lose love... The feelings expressed are either bold and passionate, or subtle and humorous, or persistent and sentimental. In short, the love described by the poet has different styles and various styles. Robert's song "Sorrows in My Heart" is a touching love song. The poet writes simple and fresh feelings in a brisk style, giving people a bright feeling and expressing the poet's infinite desire and yearning for his lover.

The whole poem has four stanzas. The last two lines of each stanza are repeated, forming a convolution. In addition, the first and second sentences of the first two stanzas are also repeated, echoing the pain and melancholy that the poet could not get rid of at that time, and adding a strong color to his melancholy. Here the poet uses a typical rhetoric of repetition. The repeated words are strengthened by the repetition of sounds, giving readers a deeper impression and feeling; at the same time, the reverberation of the sounds also produces a pleasant and harmonious sound effect. Unable to see his lover and without any news from her, the poet was immersed in longing all day long and could not extricate himself. He was restless all day long and his food was tasteless. The pain of love tortured him and made him "toss and turn."

In this poem, the poet expresses his thoughts happily and directly expresses his hot feelings. The phrase "Love tortures me,/Sorrows are rippling in my heart" runs through the whole poem, expressing the poet's emotions caused by frustrated love in a round and round way, as if the poet's emotions are as unstoppable as spring floods and torrents. The poet's love is deep and touching, and it is love that brings back the innocence and determination of their children.

The whole poem highlights the poet's infinite melancholy through the direct expression of subjective emotions and the narration of past scenes. The contrast between the two, joy and sorrow, highlights the poet's infinite melancholy. Because the poet is writing about that beautiful love that has been lost, the characters in the memories are particularly precious and beautiful; it is precisely because of such beautiful memories that there is that special sense of loss after loss, so the poet has the concept of "love" It tortures me, / sorrowful thoughts ripple in my heart.” In fact, no matter fortunate or unfortunate, as long as you have laughed, cried, loved and lived, that is enough! The poet writes about the sprouting of love, the burning of love, and the loss of love, including sweet but not greasy joy, fiery and profound revelation, bitter but not sour pain, and lingering regret.

The most distinctive feature of this poem is its attention to detail and exquisite structure to convey poetic situations; and the revelation of the potential universal sadness and lamentation in life in concise sentences is one of the charms of this poem. location. The whole poem unabashedly flows with sincere longing and love for the lover from beginning to end, and vividly depicts the beautiful feelings of the slightly sad love season. The emotion expressed by this momentary touch is exactly what many people are thinking and saying. Once the poet refines and summarizes it with artistic techniques, it has a typical meaning.

Like Robert's other works, the entire poem uses simple words to convey the author's simple and sincere feelings. The language of the poem is not artificial, it is written casually, and the emotions are sincere, showing a rich charm in the plainness. The rhythm is neat and the rhyme is harmonious. The soft beauty is produced in the repeated loops, which can be deeply rooted in people's hearts and will not be forgotten for a long time.
