Anne Bradstreet is the speaker of this lovely poem. The poem was not written in the modern times, but during the Puritan times. The occasion of the poem is based on Puritan times. Every sentence of the poem was filled with undying love toward her husband, and she showed him her gratefulness towards him. The tone is very romantic, emotional, loving, and personal.
During the Puritan times, speaking about emotions was uncommon, and she was going against it by demonstrating her strong and undying emotions toward her husband.She had gone against then Puritan literature, but to her, her husband was more important. She gives many similes and examples of how happy she is to be his wife. They are united, and no aspect in the world can change that for her. She tells that she is the happiest woman alive and is lucky to have such a great husband. She clearly says that no amount of money can change her feelings and devotion to her husband, because money can be gained, but if you lose a loving husband, another is hard to find.
