"Ode to Enchanted Light" about light and celebrating joy and In my opinion " Sleeping in the Forest" is mainly about nature taking a spirit back into its possession. Here i will compare these two poems.

In "Sleeping in the Forest" In lines 5-10 it seams calm, relaxing and peaceful. And the writers word choice is happy in lines 16-18 because that it says she had vanished at least a dozen times into something better.In poem "Ode to Enchanted Light" the attitude of the poem was happy and calm, in lines 1-9 it says that the lite is drifting down like clean white sand.in lines 13-15 it says that the world is overflowing with water. Which means the water stands for happiness.

In "Sleeping in the Forest" lines 5-7 it shows metaphor. lines 5-7 saying that she slept like a stone on a river bed.The poem also includes personification lines 1-5.lines 1-5 saying that the earth should remember her and that the dark skirts arranged for her. In "Ode to Enchantment Light" lines 13-15 shows a metaphor. Lines 13-15 says that the earth is a glass overflowing with water, which to me i think that it means that the earth is full of light.
