This volume encompasses various themes, ranging from love and loss to social issues, presented through rich imagery and emotional depth. Notable pieces include "The Romaunt of Margret," reflecting on the complicated nature of love, and "The Cry of the Children," which addresses themes of social justice and the plight of youth. The opening of this volume begins with "The Romaunt of Margret," where the titular character finds herself by a river, lost in contemplation and the complexities of love.
