Introduction

In this poem, the poet talks about how sad he is that someone he cared about has died. This makes the poet feel very sad and upset. He says that the death has hurt him very much inside. His dead lover is now a part of the world around him. She can’t feel anything and doesn’t worry about anything. She is now above the problems of the world and is at peace inside the Earth.

In this line, the poet talks about how sad he is that a loved one has died. He says that he is so shocked by the death that he feels like his soul has gone to sleep. He has stopped feeling anything, so he no longer has normal fears like losing something or dying. After she died, the person he loved seemed to him like something that couldn’t feel anything on Earth. She is not affected by anything physical about people, like their fears or the passage of time. She has left the world of people in peace.

The poet says that since the beloved is dead, she can’t move or have any power left in her body. She can neither hear nor see. She is buried in the ground and is now a part of the natural world. She is turning like the Earth does every day as it goes around the Sun. She is now part of the tree, the rocks, and the stones, all of which move with the Earth. She is now a part of nature and will live on forever. The poet will never forget her.
