    This poem is a lamentation about unrequited love. It consists of 3 stanzas with 4 lines each where the speaker expresses their suffering from their passions not being reciprocated by their love. They complain that their despair has governed them for too long, their grief still speaks through their deep sighs, and that the object of their affection gives them hope in vain and still allows them to complain.
