The Farmer’s Bride is a Victorian poem by Charlotte Mew, which depicts a dysfunctional marriage between an uncommunicative farmer and his frightened bride. The poem was first published in 1912 and received much acclaim, making Mew quite well known. Lord Byron wrote the poem to express his sorrow at the loss of a relationship, implying that the relationship was a secret so he could only grieve in secret.
The poem’s theme of nature from the outset, such as fountains mingling with rivers, evokes passive emotions. The poem is believed to be inspired by Lady Frances Wedderburn Webster. In comparison, the poems of Lord Byron and Charlotte Mew present a relationship full of hardship, reflecting the effects of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.
The Farmers Bride, written by Cecil Day, is another poem by Charlotte Mew that explores a relationship that did not begin organically. The farmer chose a young bride that he did not know, and the couple consummated their union through the act of consummation. This suggests the relationship is empty and pointless, with the farmer’s busyness causing him to have little time for his wife.
The poem’s form (dramatic monologue) emphasizes her silence, and it is suggested that the farmers’ tone is matter-of-fact, and he seems to be familiar with his brides. The poem also explores the idea of Porphyria’s Lover, a natural force in love and relationships. Both poems are considered significant works in the field of romantic poetry.
