Hi Kim,
I agree that the man truly loves his mistress even after death due them part. The poet did a great job at illustrating to the readers his love for his mistress. He compares how moisturize and soft her skin is when it's being touch.

>>I first thing that I noticed is that this man seems to adore his mistress. He describes the time that he enjoys spending with her. The next verse the author goes into her death as a love as well. He talks about how that he loves her even as ash.
>After hearing the poem being read I understood why he was in love with his misress. He used a simile that described her skin like morning dew. After she "passes" he still adores his mistress and this is known because of the tone of voice he uses to describe her.
