I felt the image of silencing the dog with a “juicy” bone was out of place. Everything is sad and to add juicy is something nice and happy. Speaker is the made to sound to be the widow of the deceased. I assume that it is a woman, but there is nothing to suggest that it couldn’t be a male widow, now days you cannot assume anything. What you can tell is that the widow is now missing their “everything”. It is clear in the last stanza that they don’t want the world to continue they would rather just lay down and die also. They say “For nothing now can ever come to any good”. They are saying that they can never be happy again, and there are no gimps of hope.
The phrase, “I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.” Everyone thinks this when they are in love. That is why you need to live each day to its fullest and not take it for granted. Love is something that stays with you forever, even if the person does go away. You will always have feeling for them and sometimes they are strong enough that you don’t think you can go on with your life.
