P. 5
The last two lines explain how her body has become one with earth, how
she is now a part of nature. She is one among the other elements of
nature like rocks, stones, and trees. Her only movement is along with the
rolling of earth, of which she is now an integral part.
This movement is seen positively by the poet and he does not feel sad or
bitter at the girl‟s death. For him, her integration with nature transforms
her human form and she continues to live like the animate and inanimate
objects of nature.
