"The woman notices movement, noises, wind, and also dreams of her lover's return. She feels that it is only through his return that she could feel alive again. The woman mentions that if her lover returns, she would, "... run along the paths/ And he would stumble after," and also, "...choose/ To lead him in a maze along the patterned paths". The presence of her lover means a lot of things to her including immense freedom and fulfillment of sexual needs. But unfortunately for her, the lover is no longer alive."
