O'Shaughnessy, A. (1874). Ode. Music and Moonlight London: Chatto and Windus.
Ode is a poem that begins by describe the power of music. It metaphorically describes the creative process. It references the sadness brought about in the lives of many people by not having music in their lives. This is a poem that the students who truly appreciate music in my classroom will relate to and will understand.
I could use this poem to help my students better understand poetry and its relation to the metrical rhythmic patterns of music. I could also coordinate this lesson with the english teachers in my school and see if we could not both teach the poem in our lessons.
