John Donne: An Analysis Of Tone

136 Words1 Page

The speaker wants to show love to her beloved. "...that I should bring thee proof in words, of love hid in me out of reach." It also suggests in this particular sentence that her love is "out of reach". Which could be mean that she knows she loves him but just cannot express it to herself or him. In the poem she says, "And rend my garment of my life,..". Which practically means her life is ruined. So, I think that whatever his request was it was really heart wrenching. But because of her love for him she would not disobey what he wants. Her response suggest that she really is brave, but also depressed. She says," convey its grief." She says that she loves him and if she could find the words he would know.
