Imagery My knees my forehead was,
My lips, drawn in, said not Alas!
My hair was over in the grass,
My naked ears heard the day pass.

Figurative language
In the first stanza, there is repetition of the word 'wind' in line 1 and 3, this is showing the repetition of the trees swaying from side to side.
There is personification in stanza 2 and 3, and the things he says make it seem like he's losing control of himself because he's so distraught.

Tone “Walking at wind’s will”
Directionless, aimless
Eyes fixed upon 10 weeds
“My” “My”
“From perfect grief there need not be
Wisdom or even memory;”

Intention A very precise and delicate description
of the depressed people.
Too depressed, too shocked to think or judge anything at all.
All that remains is the little woodspurge
