This poem is a very good poem, it realy made me think whats in my life that
i don't appreciate. You sould appreciate the thing you love or dont have
before there gone.

This is one of the greatesat poems i have ever read in my life. I didn't
understand it at first, but my teacher explained it. Once i realized what
it meant i thought it was so true. People never realize what they have
until they don't have it anymore. It's truly a beautiful poem

Okay, well I also have to find the relationships between the first and
following words of each line.
Apparently, they're each polars. One goes without the other. There is no
love in death, and no happiness in pain. Also, for the birds part, birds
fly south for the winter to avoid snow
