The repetition of 'love', albeit lost or unrequited, makes it clear what the theme of this poem is, particularly the effect it can have.

I am not sure if the lines

(Gamboling away on new-mown hay)
Or some other synthetic.

worked as well with the rest of the poem, although I understood the intentions.

The last stanza is so sad, but I like the strong lines

And stoned
Like a parasite.

Somes you just feel like that eh
