When My Love Comes to See Me It’s
When My Love Comes to See Me It’s - meaning Summary
Sensory Union of Love
The poem describes the speaker’s response to a loved one’s arrival through sensory metaphors—music, color, and scent. Physical and emotional reactions blur: a heart’s quickening yields a paradoxical ‘‘death’’ that the lover’s smile transforms into clarity and life. The speaker moves from individual feeling to intimate union in the final lines, while the hurdy-gurdy image returns attention to music as a distant, grounding rhythm that frames the encounter.

And then all her beauty is a vise whose stilling lips murder suddenly me, but of my corpse the tool her smile makes something suddenly luminous and precise —and then we are I and She…. what is that the hurdy-gurdy’s playing
