I believe that in this poem Frost uses descriptions of nature and
personification to evoke the bittersweet beauty of depression. "My Sorrow,
when she's here with me..."
Perhaps I read too much into it, but the line "Her pleasure will not let me
stay" could allude to thoughts of suicide. But Frost declines and finds
beauty and art in these emotions.
A truly lovely, evocative poem.
