What does the first stanza of in the bleak midwinter mean?
It speaks of the spiritual estate of men at the first coming of Christ. Jesus came when men's hearts were hardened to God. It was a spiritually "bleak winter." The hearts of men were hard as ice to the things of the Lord. And there was little earthly hope for a remedy to the situation. The coming of Jesus Christ radically changed years of "falling snow." The verse is analagous to CS. Lewis' book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe where the entire land of Narnia is in a perpetual state of winter because of the White Witches rule over Narnia.The first verse of the song is also meant to contrast with the second verse. His first coming was with great humility and with little fanfare. While as His second coming, "heaven and earth will flee away."

Who wrote the carol in the bleak mid winter?
According to Wikipedia it was penned around 1872 by Christina Rossetti. Originally written as a poem, it was posthumously turned into a carol in the early 20th century, with settings by Gustav Holst and Harold Edwin Darke, the latter's rendition being the most well-known to us today, and which was voted the best Christmas carol in 2008 by leading choirmasters and choral experts.
Is the tempest as dark comedy?
Not really. Prospero is always in charge, and he is a good guy, and so are Ariel and Miranda. There is no real threat from the castaways or from Caliban, no matter how malicious he might seem. The ending does not have the ambiguity of the endings of such plays as Measure for Measure or All's Well, and is far removed from the unsatisfying and bleak resolution of Troilus and Cressida. In the Tempest, the young couple are happily married, Ariel is freed, the bad guys repent and Prospero retires. A pleasant resolution all around.
What is the effect of end-stopped lines in poetry?
The effect of end-stopped lines varies depending upon the poem and the intentions of the poet.Generally, end-stopped lines slow down the pace of the poem by adding pauses, therefore making it seem more thoughtful and dwelling.Basically, they are the opposite of enjambement. If Enjambement creates a more carefree and 'chatty' effect, then end-stopped lines create the opposite of this - more constructed etc.One point to note is that it also depends on the type of punctuation used. Plenty of commas does give a conversational tone, whereas more full stops can give a more clipped and bleak feel.In an exam, you can often make up a suitable reason. For example, if the poem is about lonliness, the endstopped lines may emphasize this, giving a bleak feel and reflecting the dwelling thoughts of the speaker. However, if the poem is about someone who is happy i.e. the opposite, you can write that the poet uses endstopped lines to give a calm tone, and the poet is emphasising the fact that she does not want time to pass etc. Ok bad examples but try it.
