Analysis of An Ode to the One Who Loved Me
You brought love unto me,
in much happier times
In this sad meadow,
in this dark, decrepit dense
Where no wonderment danced,
in these woed children's eyes
You bathed their sorrows,
in loving watered tin buckets
And they remember you still,
in memory, my dearest darling
