The poet seems depressed that the love he encompasses for Mary will never be fulfilled. The stanza begins with the poet asking rhetorical hesitations. In the first question he refers to elevations again like in the first stanza when he says her face bloomed like a sweet flower it shows how innocent the love is and as they were never in physical contact even virginity. overly Clare admits that him and Mary could never be together as shown forth by the comparison of flower and overwinter.According to him it will be as hard for their relationship to bloom as it would be for a flower in winter and slowly it will wilt and die. The second question shows his desperate first. It clearly implies love as cold, deceitful and to be hardened with caution. But he himself dove into it and continually obsesses about her. Love has a very strong physical impact within his body. These new feeling seem to have shaken him with surprise. The line my heart has left its brood place exhibits the sense of seclusion and desertion that he feels.It includes rhetorical questions much(prenominal) as are flowers the winters choice? and Iis loves fare always snow? the advert to flowers takes us back to the simile in the beginning of the poem where the blooming of her face is compared to that of a flower apocalyptic of the efflorescence of his love for her . it is in sharp contrast to the second reference of the flower which can only wilt and die in winter rather than blossom suggesting the lack of any misfortune of the two orgasm together.Also read In Exile Poem Analysis Arthur NortjeHe refers to her face blooming like a sweet flower sign ifying the blossoming of his love which contrasts with the second reference to the flowers which is compared to winter suggests the lack of any possibility of them coming together just as the flower. the second question shows his desparate depression implying that love is cold deceitful and to be treated with caution . having drowned him in her live now it seems impossible for him to come out of it as my heart has left its dwelling place there is a sense of loneliness and the desertion that lurks towards the end of the poem making the reader to almost sympathise with the poet.We are make to go through the experience and as the poem uses a diary form, it almost appears as if the poet is pouring his heart onto the paper. This is what makes the poem stand out as one can really scram with him. He uses similes her face bloomed like a sweet flower, metaphors my life has turned into clay, alliterations such as so sudden so sweet and realistic and effective images to make that possible. T he rhyming structure of the poem is AB-AB-CD-CD.In each paragraph his feelings keep developing and we are made to witness this experience. The realistic images the poem has, helps the reader to understand the physical effects of being in love. The love he has was the sweetest, noblest and deepest love he has witnessed in his entire life so much so that it later legion him to insanity. Therefore more than first love I would consider it to be his true love. I feel as if the poet has been successful in transferral the impact of his emotions throughout this poem.
