यह कविता एक लड़की की मृत्यु पर आधारित है जिसे कवि बहुत चाहता था।
पहले कवि को लगा था कि वह कभी बूढ़ी नहीं होगी, वह समय के असर से दूर है।
लेकिन अब उसकी मृत्यु हो चुकी है—
न वह देख सकती है, न सुन सकती है, न ही हिल सकती है।

अब वह पृथ्वी का हिस्सा बन गई है—
पत्थरों, चट्टानों और पेड़ों की तरह धरती के साथ घूमती है।

कवि बहुत शांत भाव से यह स्वीकार करता है कि वह प्रकृति में मिल गई है।
