Best Answer

The poem, actually titled "Song" and written in 1935, is a harsh parody of the original sentimental slush by Christopher Marlowe, the Elizabethan poet. The quoted lines are saying that if the girl will come and live with the speaker she can look forward to fading away with hunger and leaving nothing for Death to take but a bag of bones wrapped in skin.
