Love Walked Alone
Love Walked Alone - meaning Summary
Lonely Love's Painful Journey
The poem personifies Love as a solitary figure wounded by a harsh world. Love endures physical and emotional injuries from rocks and brambles, and a companion arrives whose presence only deepens her suffering. The final irony—that the companion is named heart's pain—casts love as both vulnerable and inevitably linked to sorrow. The poem presents a brief, bleak meditation on love’s exposure, helplessness, and the close association between affection and anguish.
