Strephon kissed me in the spring
Robin in the fall
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest,
Robin’s lost in play
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day
Actually, I am not good in interpreting poems. But of course, we have different interpretations regarding this poem. But if you were to ask me, I also have my own interpretation about this poem and here it goes.
For me, the poem talks about the different interpretations of people towards one another especially about love. I think this kiss symbolizes that there are people who are plastic. When you are around, they treat you nicely and of course we do not know what their true intentions to us are. Just like in the poem, Strephon kissed her in the spring and Robin the fall but Colin only look at her and never kissed at all. I think this means that Strephon and Robin really showed their feelings to the person or to her in the form of a kiss but we are not sure of what are really their true intentions for her, if they really love her or is just to showy or superficial. But talking about Colin, he never dared to kiss her but just merely look ate her. Of course, he didn’t show his feelings to the girl. He is not showy enough but behind that look, one can tell or maybe feel what his intentions are. We are also not sure that maybe the kiss of Strephon and Robin are just a betrayal kiss or a kiss just for showing up. But of course, we cannot tell right away too about Colin’s feelings and intentions, whether is he the same as the two lads.
In the second stanza, Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest and Robin’s lost in the play but the kiss in Colin’s eyes haunts me night and day. I think this means that Colin’s look towards her has a different meaning and this makes her unease or it is always on her mind because the look meant different. It is special compared to the kiss of the two people in the spring and fall. In my opinion, the girl forgets about Strephon and Robin’s kiss since for her it is nothing. It meant nothing. It is just a fake kiss. It is different from the look of Colin towards her for maybe she realized that even though Colin only look at her but never dared to kiss her, it was Colin indeed who has true feelings for her and who loves her indeed. Just by merely the look, one can tell how he feels. When somebody loves a person, I know that the other person also feels what the other person is also feeling except if you are just numb enough not to understand and feel ones feelings and emotions.
The look is really a very deep poem. Deep in the sense that it requires analysis and each has a different symbolism. People who have read it may like the poem since it has a really deep meaning but of course, we do have different interpretations of this poem. As for me, this my own interpretation and I think this poem was entitled the look because the look of Colin towards her is different from the kiss that Strephon and Robin gave to her which makes Colin’s look to her special than the others.
Robin in the fall
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Strephon’s kiss was lost in jest,
Robin’s lost in play
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day
