AI Interpretation
The speaker denies both sorrow and glory in love, then addresses an impossible desired person who runs from rain and returns laughing. The closing asks that person to catch the speaker's eye and sin.
The final sin brings culpability or moral unease into a request for attention. That shift belongs to the poem's speaker; it does not establish a confession of a particular act.
Rows from 'There is not a sorrow of love / There is not a glory either' and 'Trying to make an epagram' to 'It is you / Catch my eye / and my sin'.
A love poem that ends by joining desire and fault; epagram and laugh's are kept as typed.
