The poem made by Lord Alfred Tennyson really has this rhythm and upon seeing alone the title it really coveys pain and sorrow.

EMOTIVISM LOGICAL POSITIVISM Logical positivism embraced a scientific method for verifying knowledge – a process of verification – which excluded the possibility of moral facts. This shows the influence of David Hume (1711-1776), who believed that sentiment was the source of right and wrong.
