My Heart and I. By Elizabeth Barrett Browning. I. ENOUGH ! we're tired, my heart and I. We sit beside the headstone thus, And wish that name were carved for us. The moss reprints more tenderly. The hard types of the mason's knife, As heaven's sweet life renews earth's life. With which we're tired, my heart and I. II.

Throughout this poem, the speaker describes for the reader, and sometimes for her heart, how she’s feeling. She repeatsthe word “tired” numerous times throughout the poem, never letting the reader forget her broader emotional and mental experience. She looks back on how her life used to be, and it makes the present all the more painful. The speaker...
Browning engages primarily with themes of loss and life’s purpose in ‘My Heart and I.’ Throughout, the speaker makes no secret of the fact that she’s at a loss with what to do with her life now that her husband has died. It’s not just that she lost this man. She’s also lost the structure that’s required for a woman to live well in the 19th century....
‘My Heart and I’ by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a seven-stanza poem that is separated into sets of seven lines. The lines follow an interesting and somewhat unusual rhyme scheme of ABBACCA. There are a few moments, such as in stanzas one and three, in which the center “A” sound does not rhyme perfectly with that at the end of lines one and seven....
Browning makes use of several literary devices in ‘My Heart and I.’ These include but are not limited to apostrophe, juxtaposition, imagery, and enjambment. The latter is a formal device that occurs when the poet cuts off a line before its natural stopping point. It ends, and a reader has to go down to the next line to find out what happens next. F...
Stanza One
In the first lines of ‘My Heart and I,’ the speaker tells the reader that someone, who’s revealed to be her husband, has died. She’s sitting beside his gravestone, wishing that she was dead in his place. Despite looking around and knowing that there’s value in staying alive, as “heaven’s sweet life renews earth’s life,” she still wants to die. Her life, as she sees it, has come to an end. Without her husband, as a 19th-century woman, she is without a purpose. There are some interesting juxtap...
Stanza Two
The second stanza makes it clear that the first and last lines of every stanza are going to be quite similar. The words “tired” and “my heart and I” are repeatedeach time. There are slight differences, such as saying “at last” or “how” or “You see.” The speaker uses the lines of this stanza to declare that there’s nothing left in the world for her. Because she and her heart “trusted men” and put her life in a man’s hands, she has nothing of her own. Although it’s easy to read distress in rega...
Stanza Three
By this point, the word “tired” is firmly drilled into the reader’s mind. It’s easy to see why she does feel tired, as, in the next lines, she states clearly that she seems of “no use in the world.” Her appearance, or ‘fancies,” are “grey” and unkept in front of men’s eyes. There’s no one else who would love her as her deceased husband did. She doesn’t know what she and her tired heart are supposed to do next.
Readers who enjoyed ‘My Heart and I’ should also consider reading some of Browning’s other best-known poems. For example: 1. ‘Sonnet 14: If thou must love me’– presents the speaker’s ideas on how she wants to be loved and remembered. She wants a love that’s going to last through eternity rather than one that’s based on her appearance. 2. ‘Patience ...

David Whitfield – 1960. Also recorded by : Turner Layton; The Merseybeats; Richard Tauber. We are in love with you, my heart and I. And we are always true, my heart and I. When you are far away each smile's a tear. But it's a lovely day when you are near.
