What do you think this poem is about?

I ask of thee, love, nothing but relief

I ask of thee, love, nothing but relief.
Thou canst not bring the old days back again;
For I was happy then,
Not knowing heavenly joy, not knowing grief.

    So much said in so few words. A perfect poem. M. E. Coleridge can see my heart.
