  1. The Time I’ve Lost In Wooing Poem analysis By :Kayla Patrick

  2. Information about the poet • Thomas Moore was born in 1779 and dies in 1852 at age 73 • He was remembered as a cultural patriot who used poetry and song to advance his countries cause • He composed lyrics that were meant to be sung in the tunes of old Irish folk songs • He went to Trinity college in 1795 which was recently allowed entry for Catholics • A girl named Lena Angese encouraged him with his works

  3. Stanza One The time I’ve lost in wooing, In watching and pursuing The light, that lies In woman’s eyes, Has been my heart’s undoing. Though Wisdom oft has sought me, I scorn’d the lore she brought me, My only books Were woman’s looks, And folly’s all they’ve taught me

  4. Stanza Two Her smile when Beauty granted, I hung with gaze enchanted, Like him the Sprite, Whom maids by night Oft meet in glen that’s haunted. Like him, too, Beauty won me, But while her eyes were on me, If once their ray Was turn’d away, Oh! winds could not outrun me.

  5. Stanza Three And are those follies going? And is my proud heart growing Too cold or wise For brilliant eyes Again to set it glowing? No, vain, alas! th’ endeavour From bonds so sweet to sever; Poor Wisdom’s chance Against a glance Is now as weak as ever.

  6. Stucture The poem has • 3 stanzas • 30 lines

  7. ‘The light that lies in woman’s eyes” This line is saying that way a woman draws him in with her eyes and soul
