Paraphrasing The first stanza of "i carry your heart with me," reveals E.E. Cummings' passion for an unnamed woman. By describing that "only me is your doing, my darling," can be interpreted as his day to day activities reflecting her mind set and incorporating her without her physical presence. These four lines are all about her being with him in spirit and how a part of her always remains inside of him.   The short line "I fear  is overlooked by many but serves a great purpose. By having it, it brings the poem into retrospect and allows us all to make connections to it. The fear, the pain, the loss of potentially losing someone you adore is unimaginable and deserves its own line to emphasise his apprehension. As we continue reading, we realise that previous line of "i fear , was not to darken the mood of the poem but rather once again to express his love. In this stanza he talks about letting go of the shackles that would hold back any individual. When he is with this woman, he doesn't shy away from a challenge, nothing holds him back. This is a feeling that is usually associated with love. The feeling of letting go and finding the personal strength to grow as an individual. Also, in this stanza, he incorporates aspects like the moon and sun which are recognizable points in other love tales. William Shakespeare often made references to the sun, moon and stars to help show how endless love is and how it has free reign in our lives.   In the final stanza, E.E. Cummings begins to describe a something that he keeps to himself. The reason for all that he does and the reason he is who is he. He makes references to real life ideas like the sky and the trees and once again to the stars. These lines are used to make the reader anticipate the release of his secret and draw them into his grand finale. In conclusion, E.E. Cummings wraps up his poem in one short line. This line expresses all the love that he has for this woman and attempts to live up to the emotions he has. "i carry your heart, i carry it in mine 
