"The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter" by: Ezra Pound

• In this poem the author had also been experiencing the war. During the time of the war, she uses connections to nature and seasons to show the audience how long she’s been waiting. The author is also hurt because she sees herself growing as nature does but she doesn’t have her husband to grow with her. Her last line she shows she would walk 100 miles and risk her life just to meet up with her husband.
