Another interpretation of this could perhaps be that her lover was not loving towards her, and only acted as though he did at her funeral. This image could possibly suggest that the Nightingale is a metaphor for her relationship, and in death Rossetti has finally escaped from her lover, who may not have cared for her in the way that he should.

For example, Rossetti writes “I shall not hear the Nightingale Sing on, as if in pain”. In ‘Song’, one of the main themes was the use of natural vocabulary to create a sense of relief. However, in the poem ‘Remember’, Rossetti uses the displays a much more consoling tone, giving a much different interpretation on death than that of ‘Song’. In ‘Song’, she uses techniques involving the structure and tone of the poem to communicate that she is in fact happy to be out of the relationship. In both ‘Song’ and ‘Remember’, Rossetti articulates several different attitudes towards death, avoiding any one set approach.
