The poem expresses the speakers' desire to find domestic bliss away from the noise and distractions of city life, envisioning a future of marriage, children, and companionship.

The overall theme is one of romantic love and devotion between two people who wish to live simply yet happily together away from society.

The relationship is portrayed as intimate yet private, likened to hiding away together and pictured sitting alone on the speaker's knee for tea. Nature imagery like streams and flowers is also used.
