The theme of the poem is the pain of unrequited love. Though the poem is about love, it is not romantic. In fact, the poet’s friend has a beloved who does not love him back. In the poem, we come across the repercussions that the poet’s friend is going through because he is heartbroken. He even appears to be ‘pale and wan.’ The poet is unable to see his friend in such a condition and asks him to move on because being in love with somebody who does not love him back will only cause him pain.
