Now, more in detail about the poems , and the death parthemes in them. The compared poems are the poems mentioned earlier: Wordsworth's ''We Are Seven'' and Shelley's ''Death is Here Aand Death is There''. Wordsworth's poem is a simple and sincere dialogue between narrator and a little girl. The story reatherlly compares life with death. In the last lines, the narrator tells the girl, that there can not be seven of them in her family, when two of them are dead: ("But they are dead; those two are dead! Their spirits are in heaven!)" and the girl answeres, that this is not true: (a"Ay, we are seven!)," because, for themr, death has a different meaning. Wordsworth does not tell poeople, what death is, he gives the reader two viewpoints. Shelley, however, speaks boldly and directly about the essence of death. Through his diction, he creates promptly creates a more morbid atmosphere than Shelley with his story -telling. With his poem he creates an impression, that he knows already knows what death is: ("First our pleasures die -- and then our hopes, and then our fears -- and when these are dead, the debt is due, dust claims dust -- and we die too)."
