Filled with empathy, the poet is unable to bear the plight of the unassuming and innocent rural people. The lines below show his insufferable pain: 

“Sometimes I feel myself I can hardly bear  

The thought of so much childish longing in vain,  

The sadness that lurks near the open window there,  

That waits all day in almost open prayer”
