Is it just me or is this what I think it is...

Where doing Poerty in English as the last unit. The project im typing up now is the "Poetry Love Log", where we select 10 poems and wirte a summary on it and ect...

Now the question is, what the hell does this Stanza mean?

"I hoped that he would love me,
And he has kissed my mouth,
But I am like a stricken bird
That cannot reach the south."

I asked my friend what he thought, he thought the same thing, that this lady wants to go downstairs and you know what to this guys what not.

Does this mean what I think it does, or am I absolutly courrpted?

I think the author wanted to show that hne woman caanot reach something she really wants or something she's waiting for for very long. As we know in winter birds fly to the south, where they will rest as it's nice there - same with the woman she wants something that is nice.

You're absolutely corrupted Kevin.

Specifically, this stanza (although I don't know what the rest of the poem is) seems to mean that no matter how hard she tries she can't feel true love. Patrick was more or less right, the south is a place the birds like to go to in winter and it's being used as a metaphor here.

To me it sounds like her man went gay and won't let her teabag him.
