 Studying Eden Rock by Charles Coalsley. Here's how you can analyze this poem. In terms of structure, this poem is written in six stanzas. One, two, three, four, five, six. Bear in mind the last stanza is a single line. In the first verse, the speaker refers to they and this third person pronoun is a reference to the parent. The repetition of the title Eden Rock in line one shows that this place is a symbol for the afterlife. Also the Caesarea in the second line shows that this is a memory of his father. The reference to his mother in line five parallels how he described his father in line two. The speaker mentions these words in verse three and this is domestic imagery that shows how caring his mother was. The speaker then uses this simile to create a really heavenly image. We can see that he's hinting that his parents will die. They bring us the presence with the word beckon and bank. The alliteration of be and the word bank symbolizes they're now dead. This final verse shows that they're now an orphan.
