i'm trying to understand th e real meaning of the poem, i think she is speaking about true love. trying to tell lovers not to love for a reason or to look for reasons to love, but i'm not sure yet. it is hard because i'm from a spanish speaking country and this is the first time i analyses a poem. I'm also confused with the versification meaning i can't get any simil, methapor or personification but i might be very wrong. would you be so kind to help me with it? thank you so much.

Beatriz, what poem are you referring to?


Les

And yet, because thou overcomest so,
Because thou art more noble and like a king,
Thou canst prevail against my fears and fling
Thy purple round me, till my heart shall grow
Too close against thine heart henceforth to know
How it shook when alone. Why, conquering
May prove as lordly and complete a thing
In lifting upward, as in crushing low !
And as a vanquished soldier yields his sword
To one who lifts him from the bloody earth,
Even so, Beloved, I at last record,
Here ends my strife. If thou invite me forth,
I rise above abasement at the word.
Make thy love larger to enlarge my worth.
