The poet is parting with his beloved not because he has become fed up with her or he hopes to get a better love or \u201cfitter love.\u201d He is parting because he wishes to die in jest.

The poet promises her that his return will be faster than the sun. The poet expresses his love in strong words such as \u201cthou sigh\u2019 st not wind\/But sigh\u2019 st my soul away.\u201d He further says that even if he dies, he will be present by her side.

(b)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Write a paragraph in about 100 words on \u2018meeting and parting with your loved ones\u2019.<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Ans –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The meeting brings joys and happiness but parting always comes with pain and sorrow. But one cannot deny this fact, as this is the law of Nature, that one day or other, everybody has to meet the same misfortune by parting with one another. Human life is mortal. One who is born has to die. No one can bring any change to this reality. Great philosophers and saints have tried to win over the law of nature. In spite of all this, we cannot help meeting, loving and respecting people. We live for today, so we should always love everyone around us.<\/p>\n
