In the last stanza, the speaker tells his companion to be true to each other; “Ah, love, let us be true/To one another.” The speaker wants to convey the message that if everyone remains true to each other and love each other, faith can be restored. The world we are living now “Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,/ Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain.” But the world will seem better if people loved and trusted each other and never betrayed each other.
