Tomorrow, at dawn, the moment the countryside is washed with daylight,I will leave. You see, I know that you wait for me.I will go through forest, I will go across the mountains.I cannot rest far from you for long.I will trudge on, my eyes fixed on my thoughts,Without seeing what is outside of myself, without hearing a single sound,Alone, unknown, back bent, hands crossed,Sad, and the day for me will be like the night.I will not look upon the golden sunset as night falls,Nor the sailboats from afar that descend on Harfleur
In this poignant reflection, the speaker conveys a deep sense of longing and determination as they prepare to embark on a journey at dawn.

The imagery of forests and mountains emphasizes the physical and emotional challenges they are willing to face in pursuit of closeness with their beloved.
The speaker describes their state of mind as they push forward, consumed by thoughts of the one they miss, to the point of becoming oblivious to their surroundings. This isolation, paired with a heavy sense of sorrow, paints a picture of a heart burdened by absence. The choice to forgo the beauty of the sunset and the sights of the harbor further illustrates their melancholic focus, reminding us that the desire for connection can eclipse the joys of the present moment.
