In Remeber, the author is talking about when she dies for the people to remeber her while in The Cross of Snow, Longfellow talks about his long deceased wife. Rossetti is focusing on her own death while Longellow focuses on his lover's death which gives each poem a total different meaning. Rossetti asks to be remebered, but if they forget her it is okay since she rather them be happy and forget than to be sad and remember. However, Longfellow says he has been dealing with his wife's death for 18 years and the burden he has carried with it has not gone away. These are two different perspectives, one from the dead person, Nd one for the person left to mourn. Also, Remember is written in a more conversational way rather than The Cross of Dnow which is written in a more elegant form. Ome can see this difference by the metaphors and allusion Lonfellow utilizes. First, he compare the light that a lamp casts to a halo. This shows his thoughts of his wife and that she was a great person who surely went to heaven. He also call her soul white which symbolizes purity. Lastly he makes an allusion to the bible where it talks about everyone picking up their own cross and carying it. Longfellow states that he has been carring his cross of snow sfor 18 year which represents the bitterness and harshness of his lover's death. Although both poems have the same central theme, both are completely different in message.
