Contrasts of life experience, contrariety of emotions, feelings and understandings, under different circumstances have been so nicely described in this poem. Loved reading it.

Happiness and grief, delight and pain, love's inconstancies the poet has experienced in life. Peace be to her soul and her dreaming upward looks.
