I have lost my turtledove:  A
Isn't that her gentle coo?  B
I will go and find my love. A

 Here you mourn your mated love; A
Oh, God—I am mourning too: B
I have lost my turtledove. A

 If you trust your faithful dove, A 
Trust my faith is just as true;  B
I will go and find my love. A

 Plaintively you speak your love; A  
All my speech is turned into  B
"I have lost my turtledove."  A

 Such a beauty was my dove, A 
Other beauties will not do;  B
I will go and find my love.  A

 Death, again entreated of,  A
Take one who is offered you: B 
I have lost my turtledove; A
I will go and find my love A

The equation says that energy and mass are interchangeable. In science light is converted into in energy so the poet compares light to love. Smith describes humans as “light beings” because we need love to survive.
