The central theme of the poem revolves around the speaker’s profound sense of loss. The speaker attains the realisation of losing their beloved emotionally rather than pjysically. There is a great deal of alienation that the speaker and the woman feel towards each other. As the speaker describes the woman as a “Foreign Race” we see the extent to which they feel extranged from her. Lastly, the speaker talks about the true cost of devotion that they have to pay now. The speaker thus, talks about the consequences of such a big emotional change between two people involved in a relationship.
