This almost made me cry...

... so it's getting favorited.

Wow! That was a fantastic poem! Excellent rhyme and flow.

Occasionally, the old-fashioned tone sounded forced: "My solitude did bemoan", etc. The "did" in lines such as this not only makes the tone unnatural sounding, it also seems to break the meter.

Otherwise, excellent poem. Very good job at both telling the story and the feelings that went along with it. And of course a wonderful metaphor, and nice job keeping with it through the entire poem.
