This poeom and many sexual overtones. The speaker is describing, in great detail, his lover. This woman is someone he is involved with. He continues in the poem with extended metaphor that mention sex. For example, lines 12 through 14 clearly states that they made love. Also, when you are analyzing a poem is good to get out a dictionary, and look up certain words. For instance the word wanton in line 27 or martyr in line 23, and you understand the poem quite clearly. It's all about looking deeper into the poem. For most of us, sex isn't always the first thing that pops into our head when taking apart a poem like this, but you have to think out of the box. Other Information:
~ 4 stanzas, 7 lines each
~Alliteration: line 8 (well, wishes, went) or line 27 (wanton, ways)
~Theme: This can be different for many people. You think about it, trust me it's not hard at all.
Also think about diction (the choice of words the author uses) to figure out what the poem means. Good Luck!
