The poem describes the pain of a broken heart. In the first section, the speaker tries to stop their heart from bleeding and find an answer to their pain. In the second section, the speaker walks in a cold place, craving something to soothe them. The third section reflects on caring for an unexpected pregnancy but learning to love the child. The speaker wishes they were the one being held and cared for instead of just the sister. The marriage they waited for was ruined by a drunken night, and they are left sorry and set free by the only man and sister they loved despite treating them greatly.
