Traditional studies on metaphor were mainly confined to literature and rhetoric. With the development of cognitive linguistics in 1980s, the significance of metaphor has been realized from a new perspective, which made metaphor a hot topic in various disciplines. In recent years, the focus of metaphor research has turned to emotion metaphor, and the study, employing daily utterances as corpus, mainly concerns with the emotions like happiness, angry, sadness and fear etc. But there is relatively less study on love metaphor in poems. Poetry is a special way to convey emotions, and there are plenty of rich metaphors in it. Therefore the study of poetic metaphor gradually becomes a new field for the linguists.
