"The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" was a poem written by Walter Raleigh and is believed to have been written in response to a poem titled "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" written by Christopher Marlowe. Marlowe's poem was written in 1592, and Walter Raleigh's response poem was written in 1596.
It is a reply to both "Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by C. Marlowe and Sir Walter Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply To The Shepherd". It's basically trying to convince someone to come out in the country and live with him and be in love.
The poem I read made me feel happy.
The emotion of a poem is like the mood of the poem. It is how the poem makes you feel. Poems by Edgar Alan Poe may make you feel sad or dark. Poems by Silverstien may make you feel happy or silly. There will be clues in the context of how the poem should make you feel.
Write a poem yourself! Tell her how you feel about her. And if she doesn't like you back then that is her loss.

The Nymph's reply to the Shepherd in the poem "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" by Sir Walter Raleigh conveys a sense of realism and skepticism towards the Shepherd's idealistic views on love and nature. She highlights the transient nature of youth and beauty and suggests that the Shepherd's promises are unrealistic and unattainable.
Theme The poem is centrally concerned with responding to the invitation by the Shepherd in The Passionate Shepherd to His Love.The poet wishes to addressee to know that his promises are not possible because time changes them.

Sarcasm. The nymph essentially "blows off" the shepherd's evocation that her love can be won with material items. She essentially says, "If youth could last forever and we were indeed living in an Eden-type setting, maybe I would come with you and be your love. But since it is not, no."
I am doing a thesis on Elizabethan Poets and their work on the Brevity of Life. Therefore I have studied Sir Walter Raleigh's poem, and Christopher Marlowe's poem 'The Passionate Shepherd to his Love' I do not know what you have been told about the poem, but this is what I think you need to know. SWR's poem is a reply, literally a reply, to another poem written at the same time by Christopher Marlowe called 'The Passionate Shepherd to his Love' I seriously suggest you read it if you haven't, it makes SWR's poem make alot more sense. SWR was a satyrist, and so he was looking for romantic poems to mock, and having read CM's poem, I think anyone would agree it was an easy target. So really he was simply fulfilling an obligation as a satyrist, and was also furthering his own reputation because the poem was so popular. That is how simple it is really, I cannot see any other reason, he just wanted/had to mock romantic poems and this one CM's poem came along. The only other things to note are that the poem focuses on the brevity of life (as I mentioned earlier) which means it is saying how short life is and how we should live for the moment (also referred to as Carpe Diem)
it parallels it in form (poem), stanza length (quatrains), meter/rhythm (iambic tetrameter), and rhyme (rhyming couplets, or AABBCCDDEEFF, etc.)...though the messages of each are clearly in opposition

The goddess nymph who lives on Ogygia is Calypso. She is known in Greek mythology for detaining Odysseus on her island for seven years in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey."
