>I have had to read this poem a couple times. But my impression of it would have to be that this guy is describing his for this girl that would last a lifetime. Then he goes on that the end is coming near and their beauty will "no more be found". Then he describes how we can't "make our sun stand still" so he has to make a move before it' too late.
The first couple times that I had read this poem, I was still a little confused of what was going on. But after reading it again with the reader and looking at the elements of poetry. The Metaphors are more explained and easily understandable.
