What do you think this poem means?
What do you think the poet is saying in the following poem?
The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall,
The fly her spleen, the little spark his heat;
The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small,
And bees have stings, although they be not great;
Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs;
And love is love, in beggars and in kings.
Where waters smoothest run, there deepest are the fords,
The dial stirs, yet none perceives it move;
The firmest faith is found in fewest words,
The turtles do not sing, and yet they love;
True hearts have ears and eyes, no tongues to speak;
They hear and see, and sigh, and then they break.

I think it means that even the littlest of things are still important, and that everyone can fall in love and is capable of loving. Those who have faith have no need to defend their faith, because they know they do. Sometimes the littlest thing is the most important, because looks deceive. Love is not proved by words. yet by actions. And eveyones heart gets broken, no matter who you are. Every one loves and everyone loses someone they love.
-Hope this helped, I tried to interpret line by line.
