To His Coy Mistress

This poem is about a man urging a woman to tell him she loves him. He knows that they do not have all the time in the world to be coy. He speaks of all the things they could do if they had all eternity, but they do not. He doesn't want to waste time to find out she loves him. Eventually time will run out and they will die. He wants to live with her as his love. He does not want to die before they get to share in their love together. He wants to spend as much time with her as possible and make the most of their time together.
