Images in But You Didn't - Merrill Glass?

This poem is striking and powerful. Throughout the poem there are several images. The images in the first three stanza's are of a naive girl who obviously loved this man and was delighted that he stayed with her and loved her even though she often took him for granted. The last stanza has the most vivid image. we see the image of just how much she loved him and then, the most powerful image in the poem, the death of her love. The reminiscent style of this poem helps us get an image of just how much she loves and misses him.
