" Mariana " is a poem by Alfred , Lord Tennyson , published in 1830 . The poem follows a common theme in much of Tennyson 's work — that of despondent isolation .

During a visit to the Pyrenees during the summer of 1830 , Tennyson sought to give aid to Spanish rebels . During that time , he was affected by his experience and the influence appears in Mariana in the South , which was published in 1832 ; it is a later version that follows the idea of The Lady of Shalott .

Many of Tennyson 's poems are in the form of a dramatic monologue . However , Mariana , like The Lady of Shallott , is more accurately a lyrical narrative .

Within the poem , Tennyson does not teach the audience what melancholy means . Instead , he describes its various aspects as he begins :

The narrator of the poem is disconnected from Mariana , and he is able to see what she cannot . In particular , he is able to describe the " sweet heaven " whereas Mariana refuses to take in the scene as well as she is unable to understand the movement of time :
| 4d56a7d7abc1a2bcc29817772e9be394 | 30,895 |
Her tears fell with the dews at even ;

She could not look on the sweet heaven ,

Either at morn or eventide . ( lines 13 – 16 )
| 642be9d3f408fedd13f6c7a99c416f63 | 30,899 |
She is surrounded by stillness and there is little movement within the poem . The water is calm and there is only the growth of moss :

Mariana is trapped by her surroundings , and the last stanza begins with her becoming sensitive to sound as she starts to mentally lose her place in reality :
| 808b17f2a4d975a174a82ca02cf06e15 | 30,905 |

The poem ends with a description that even the sunlight is unable to do anything more than reveal dust in her home :
| e64bcb4639d4d3880c1509d94b15f357 | 30,911 |

The poem ends with an altered version of the refrain , which serves to show that although she wishes her death she is still alive and , in the final moment , allows her to end the poem instead of allowing the poem to end her :
