The first stanza of the poem depicts the atmosphere. It says that it is dark, and it is May. The blossoms on the trees fall from them in the wind like snow. The birds are singing a song that is sweet and sad.
The writer says that his playmate left her house and moved away. The writer used to work on her father's farm. She told him goodbye then left in May and never came back.
The writer goes on with his life, but he still misses her. All of nature waits for her to return to him, so they can be friends again. The writer wonders if his friend ever thinks of the times they had together. He wonders if she remembers him like he remembers her. He says she does not care that the spot where they played has been taken by other people now. He says that she has forgotten him, and that he and the woods where they played are sad and miss her.
Poetic devices:
This poem uses personification and imagery. Some examples of personification are, "And still the pines of Ramoth wood are moaning like the sea," and, "If ever the pines of Ramoth wood are sounding in her dreams". An example of imagery is "Our mossy seat is green".
I cannot really think of any deep meanings to this poem. I think it is just about a boy who lost his friend and misses her. I think the poem is just trying to express how sad the boy feels about losing his friend.
