Abstract
The paper makes a contrastive analysis of two political lyrics by Byron and Hughes from the multiple perspectives of English lyrics' formation.A conclusion is reached that two lyrics differ radically in the writing style even though they share the central idea.The writing style in Byron's Song for the Luddites is clear and straightforward while the writing style in Hughes' Dream Deferred is subtle and implicit.The detailed interpretation can make the readers perceive the various artistic approaches employed by the poets to foreground the central ideas and it can help the readers to gain an insight into the nature of poetic discourse from a multiple point of view.
