Love Reckons by Itself Alone

Love Reckons by Itself Alone - meaning Summary

Solitary Measure of Love

The poem argues that love is self-contained and knows its own scale. It suggests that a lover’s measure of affection does not depend on outside confirmation or shared experience; like describing the sun to someone who has never felt its heat, love can only report itself. The lines emphasize subjective perception: love’s reality derives from the lover’s own regard rather than any external proof or reciprocity.
