Down By The Salley Gardens

Do we always have to be so serious while in relationships? The poem "Down By The Salley Gardens" is a great example of how love and life can turn sour when we take things to litterally. This guy finds his true love and she tells him to chill out and take things easy, but he won't listen and ends up in tears. I'm not sure if she leaves him or she dies, but I'm thinking that she took off because he was stressing her out. Life shouldn't be so difficult. Let's all learn to calm down a little.
