Answer:
He thought by going through his poem she would recall her youth, beauty and those who admired her. The poet wants his lover to sit beside the fire and recollect her past memories.
After an initial read, many see this poem as one that is filled with love, but the last stanza is dark; the speaker is reminding his former mistress that their love did not last, and this is something she should regret for the rest of her life.
