How does the poet present the man's feelings about his relationship?

The poet is overwhelmed by her physical beauty but there is no detail of her voice, her body language although he says 'She seemed to hear my silent voice' but again this is all in his mind. So to answer your question this is a typical male reaction to an attractive female, ignoring what the woman really feels and what she wants from life. I like John Clare but this is a very thin poem with a male veneer over what should be something much much deeper if we are talking about real love as opposed to lust.
