- "I brought her here" - his decision to take her away, not her choice
- physically removing her from their 'place'
- "and have laid her to rest / In a noiseless nest / No sea beats near" - guilt about not returning her to the place she felt most alive
- "She will never be stirred...By the waves long heard / And loved so well" - she didn't love the place where she was rested

- various places mentioned
- Dundagel - supposed place of Camelot, knights of the round table - supposedly haunted by the knights

- nature used to represent the love throughout the poem
- Without Ceremony

- "So, now that you disappear / for ever in that swift style" - just as usual, however 'disappear' here connotes death
- 'seems' - lack of certainty
