- 6. She has died and become still, part of the earth.
- 7. The poem is built on a powerful contrast between an earlier illusion and a later, painful reality, expressed in its two short stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker recalls a time when his mind was in a dreamlike, untroubled state, free of any thought of death. He was so taken with the woman he loved that he believed she was beyond the reach of time, certain that she could never grow old or be affected by the passing years. In the second stanza, this comforting illusion is shattered by reality: the loved one has died. She now lies completely still and lifeless, unable to move or feel, and has become part of the earth, turning with it each day among the rocks, stones and trees. The movement from the speaker's false belief in her immortality to the truth of her death gives the poem its deep emotional force.
