The present poem is about love
and shyness of the beloved. It starts with the coyness of beloved saying that
if both the lover had enough time but beloved’s coyness/shyness became crime
because they have very less time left and if they have enough time they can
think over hoe to pass their ‘ long love’s day’.
Further in the poem, poet refers the Indian
Ganga and Humber which in England through this poet wants to say that whenever
they meet there is some distance between them because of beloved’s coyness/her
refusal to surrender herself. Poet compares his love with the vegetables which
grows day by day vaster than empires, he praised beloved’s body that she is so
beautiful that he can pass the 100 years in praising her beloved .
Beloved is shy but whatever lover said
regarding the years to praise is all about pure love. More than beloved
deserved. Poet hears the sound of the ‘times winged chariot’ which is hurrying
near which means time is passing very fast. Poet said what would happen is the
beloved dies without having physical relation with the lover. If the coyness of
beloved continue the date will come to die and her beauty is no more exist.
Poet compares youth with ‘morning dew’ in the way dew drapes on the skin and
goes within few time ,same youth also
stays for a while. Poet wants her to surrender herself to enjoy togetherness.
Poet says it’s not in our hand to stop
the sun but if we can’t stop it we have to change with the time means before
time goes , she should stop to be more shy and with all her willingness she
should enjoy pleasures , he said life’s journey is long and it difficult to
pass the time, they should strive hard
to be together.
