The poem “A Leave-Taking” delves into the emotional turmoil experienced by the speaker as he comes to terms with the unattainable nature of his beloved’s affection and the futility of his efforts to win her love.

The speaker contemplates leaving or moving on but ultimately remains unable to fully detach himself from the emotions and longing he feels.
