The Lady's Yes

By Elizabeth Barret Browning

"Yet the sin is on us both

time to dance is not to woo"

This poem shows that to claim you love a person you might be sure of it due to the fact that the girl in the poem is struggling with the fact that at night she loved a guy; however, in the morning,  he rethought about it and she said no, she is not in love. Normally, we say words that we don't truly feel because of the place or because we are having a good time, and our emotions mixed. Hence, this poem emphasizes this fact that she realizes she does not love him, but it is ok, for it is better to be sure of honest about what we feel.
