Question 50 • SC-English 3 Honors
“That I did always love” presents love as lasting beyond death, saying the speaker will love the beloved “better—After death.” In “‘Why do I love’ You, Sir?” the speaker compares love to natural forces, such as the wind moving the grass, suggesting it is powerful and inevitable. Both poems therefore focus on enduring passion; neither ends by expressing hope that love will be returned.
