	Similarities semantic field of structure the use of extended metaphors about religion and nature both believe they should be together (S29 she believes that she should be with her lover)(LP he believes everything should be in pairs so he should have a partner)	Differences structure of poem LP has two equal stanzas to show persona and woman emphasising the distance between them but S29 has one stanza perhaps mirroring how she wants her and her lover to be one S29 she longs for a certain person to be her partner. LP he longs for a female partner in general S29 uses an octave followed by a sistet to represent the problem followed by a solution where as LP uses two octaves which can be split into 4 quatrains LP uses rhetorical questions and religious references as persuasion LP uses half rhyme and rhyme to show the progression in a potential relationship or perhaps the half heartedness to be in a relationship but in S29 there is an abba rhyme scheme to show how their love makes up for the distant between them
	Overall comparison both poems LP and S29 have a semantic field of nature to portray a sense of longing for a loved one for example in S29 it says "wild vines about a tree" suggesting that the persona's feelings are natural the adjective wild connotes that her thoughts and feelings are uncontrollable. however LP uses nature to persuade a woman to be his lover "nothing in the world is single " the word "nothing" almost sounds patronising and manipulative so that the woman questions whether being alone is acceptable and makes her different consequently making the reader recognise how in the era the poem was written how men exert their power over women.
