After reading this poem for the first time I was not understanding it at all but after speaking with a friend I had formed some meaning and actually quite enjoyed it. I was seeing this poem as a man speaking of the love he had, the love he lost and the love he wants. I had seen it as the man speaking of the many loves that he had and now has no one and is just dealing with the fact that he is aging and would probably have no one. In the class descusion it was said that he was speaking of one particular women wiht whom he longed for her love and perhaps was contemplating marriage. I am still a little confused on how this is only one women who is speaking of.
