River and Weirs
You may hear a lot about rivers in ballads about love. Usually a poet uses the symbolism of a river to reflect upon flow of life or time. The speaker seems to be doing the same thing in this poem with the romantic imagery of grass growing on the weirs of the river. The speaker is looking to speed things up, but the girl wants to sit and watch the water flow lazily through the weirs.
