Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard just was the same as the common people’s love to Helen. Poe described the poem as “lines written, in my passionate boyhood, to the first, purely ideal love of my soul.”
The poem follows a basic iambic rhythm. The rhyme scheme flows as ABABB, ABABA, and ABBAB. It includes three stanzas, of the there are five lines parately.

In the cond ver, the “hyacinth hair” and “brilliant window-niche” which is in the third ver, are visual image, and they give us an imagination of the beauty of Helen. From the images, we can have a general understanding of this poem. In the first ver, the beauty of Helen can be feel from distant, however the cond ver it is a details description of her beauty. In the last ver it is a holy imagination of her beauty. More details of the poem are following.
In the first ver, firstly, there is an allusion in this ver, Helen is coming from the Greek story, and the wonderer here is also the people in Trojan War. Secondly, there are many comparisons. The beauty of Helen and the beauty of Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard; the love to Helen from common people, especially Greek people, compared with the love to Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard from the poet; how the soldiers are tempered by war compared with how the back home people love their home and how they are excited when they are free from the war. So in this ver the order of the words should be like this “Helen, thy beauty
is to me like tho Nicean barks of yore that bore the weary, way-worn wanderer to his own native shore gently over a perfumed a.” Further more, there is much other rhetoric in details. We can e a “like” in the cond line, and it is a simile here. In the third line, there is a “perfumed a”, and a can not feel something that is smelled perfumed, it can only smelled by human beings, so it is a transferred epithet. In the fourth line, there are the same /w/ sounds at the beginning of the word, “weary, way-worn wanderer”, and then it is alliteration. The repetition of this sound gives people a very powerful tired image that can show how the soldiers ware tempered by war. In the last line, there is a pun. The “native shore” can refer to the shore in the hometown; also it can refer to their mother land. At last, from the appreciation above, we can e that Helen, or say Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard, is beautiful not only in the outside but also in the inner world. Becau her beauty can let people think of their hometown, natives and peace world. Her beauty is humanized.
In the cond ver, there is another transferred epithet in the first line, which is “desperated as”. It is obviously that it is the feelings of human beings not the as. In t

According to the talking above, we can know more clearer of Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard, and her beauty is very mystery and beyond the human and very untouched.
In the last ver, we can also learn how beautiful Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard is. In the first line, the poet us two archaic words “yon” and “lo”. By using the two words, the poet describes a very old and mystery image. In the cond line, there are two internal rhymes “statue-like, stand” together with “e, thee”. Here is a “like”, so also it is a simile. In the third line, there is another archaic image “agate lamp” to refer to the old and mystery situ
