Genre: 
poetry
Abstract: 

Personification of wind, language of possession, and images of sound's suppression characterize the speaker's sorrow over the death of a lover. His gravestone is an object of eternity where the "mournful wind" "Lovingly lingers" and "Love lies unchanged forever around his sacred name."
