This poem describes pledging allegiance to a marriage rather than a country, with the couple finding both conflict and comfort within their domestic "nation". In just a few lines, the poem establishes the couple seated apart on a couch with dogs between them, representing the "acres of opinions" in their home, yet the speaker promises to remain watching the rain arrive in their yard together with their partner, for however long their small republic of a marriage may last.
