If this sonnet was written before 1849 then it might have relevance to Rossetti's engagement to Collinson. If so, then it might be telling the first part of the story that "Remember" and "Song" appear to finish telling, about the path of love and life, where Remember and Song tell of the ending of both, The First Day may be about the beginning of the love.
