In the first stanza poet talks about the happiness and joy.

He enjoys all that he has without worry of the society what thinks or whats the knowns are.he drives joy from simple pleasure from life.he dies not need to be extra vagrant to be satisfied.although with society owning such simple things as house,heard of cows,flocks of ship,and trees is seen as present life.

May they have  meet at some place and the poet says that may be he would receive or greet his lover after long time with the same silence and tears may be because when they parted from each other they only had silence an d tears to express. The poet has mansion about tears because many a time tears are more successful in expressing than words.sometimes word may fail to express what we excatlly feel but it never happen with tears.title of the poem suggest ending of love.
