I have a homework assignment on analyzing Emily Bronte's Remembrance please help me

What kind of analysis? Prosody, interpretation, or merely discussion on theme? Is this one of those poems she wrote with her sister about that made-up world of theirs? I forget.


Remembrance

Cold in the earth and the deep snow piled above thee!
Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my Only Love, to love thee,
Severed at last by Time's all wearing wave?

Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
Over the mountains on Angora's shore;
Resting their wings where heath and fern-leaves cover
That noble heart for ever, ever more?
Cold in the earth, and fifteen wild Decembers
From those brown hills have melted into Spring -
Faithful indeed is the spirit that remembers
After such years of change and suffering!

Sweet Love of youth, forgive if I forget thee
While the World's tide is bearing me along:
Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure but cannot do thee wrong.

No other sun has lightened up my heaven;
No other star has ever shone for me:
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given -
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee.

But when the days of golden dreams had perished
And even Despair was powerless to destroy,
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened and fed without the aid of joy;

Then did I check the tears of useless passion,
Weaned my young soulfrom yearning after thine;
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine!

And even yet, I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in Memory's rapturous pain,
Once drinking deep of the divinest anguish
How could I seek the empty world again.
-- Emily Bronte

Yes, it is. The notes that come in the Selected Poems say that it was originally "Rosina Alcona to Julius Brebzaida" though at least one significant change (unspecified) was made before publication to obscure its Gondal origins. It is a lament by Rosina for Julius, the emperor, who had been assassinated fifteen years before. This poem best illustrates what Charlotte called the "peculiar music - wild, melancoly and elevating" which so impressed her on first reading Emily's poetry.

Do a search in this forum and the general one on this poem. It has been discussed before.

In my Norton Anthology it says: "Titled in manuscript R. Alcona to J. Breznaida, this poem was originally composed as a lament by the heroine of the Gondal saga for the hero's death."

So, the people are not real, but figures from her imagination.
