When a person is alive, then he has many apprehensions 
and many fears like disease, famine etc.

In the second stanza, the poet mentions that there is no 
motion in the body of his beloved as death has overcome 
her. Also, death has deprived her of her strength.

are dead now. She has adjusted herself with the routine 
activity of earth now.
