Read the following lines from "The Garden of Proserpine" by Algernon Swinburne. Then answer the question below.

And love, grown faint and fretful With lips but half regretful Sighs, and with eyes forgetful     Weeps that no loves endure [last]. QUESTION: What mood do the details in the poem convey?
