- The feeling of being in love w/someone 

“Time will have his fancy” —> The lover’s positive image of love, quickly drifts into the negative reality 
- “Time breaks the threaded dances And the diver's brilliant bow.” —> Time breaks beautiful things (love) 
- “And the crack in the tea-cup opens A lane to the land of the dead.” —> Time reveals the reality: love can not last forever, the feeling of beeing in love can turn into “your (own) distress”

I
- personification: this joy, I know, will be soon under snow ->  of seasons and daytime for mental condition
- alliteration: night falls fast 
- oxymoron: today is in the past -> time goes by without being noticed
- enjambement, climax: three flakes, then four arrive, then many more -> increasing worries, rising evil
- metaphor: beauty […] addresses how only the remembering ear -> happy times are over, you only remember them
II
- alliteration: branch by branch -> object that are alive: joy !=snow, night are not alive: depression
- synesthesia, enjambement: color green stands for life
- anaphora, climax: what…what…what… -> roots keep the tree alive; same with joy and hope?
- direct talking to the reader: you and I have only one thing to do -> special stress
III
- depersonification: human being lifeless, inanimate and inaccessible to others, contrast to LfA
- personification: flee, if storm‘s your shelter -> flee in unpredictable and emotional reactions
IV
- contrast to LfA, personification, hyperbola: [love is] not dead of wounds […] but stung to death by gnats -> many small events killed the love, not one big event like in LfA (death of her mother)
- contrast: [swamp of life] is at length plain to me -> taking an active decision for the first time
V
- pars pro toto: eye stands for whole person -> view of the surrounding
- comparison to LfA: unequal wind under the lopped feathers brought you down -> in her unstable state of mind it needed a small event to make her commit suicide
- comparison: time can repair every physical wound but some mental illnesses stay forever

She probably is a hero for Alaska.
This poem pretty much describes Alaskas mental condition. She is depressed and hopeless too, flees that in unpredictable, emotional and rebellious reactions. Probably her depression evolved similarly as the described one, with the difference that Alaska had one traumatic event in her life while the poem describes and accumulation of many small sad moments. Her mental condition is also not repairable and she doesn‘t manage to live with the death of her mother.  Her happiness could never be complete anymore and culminates in a tragical event.
