The poems take a dark turn as the poet wrestles with news of his beloved's infidelity. Understanding that his beloved is sleeping with a former lover, the poet is left to grapple with the emotions left behind. Depression results from their disconnection and is remedied by news of their beloved, which then turns quickly again to sadness.
The darkness of the unrequited love makes the task of overcoming the emotion that much more impressive, and creates the incredible contrast of feeling the poems contain.
