In the first stanza the poet reinforces the idea that winter kills and freezes everything. He creates a sad and uncomfortable atmosphere in this stanza and states that it was in winter that Yeats disappeared, presenting the idea that the poem will speak of Yeast's death.
In the second stanza the poet reinforces the idea that although Yeast died, the universe continues, life continues and the works he wrote will survive time and hide the fact that he is dead.
In the third stanza the poet humanizes Yeast, showing that despite being an admirable poet, he died as an ordinary human, with his body betraying him and in a hospital
In the fourth stanza he shows how Yeast's words made him transcend and become eternal even after he died, because his soul will live in every reader who admires him.
In the fifth stanza he reinforces the idea that the world has not stopped with the death of Yeast. This feeling is also exposed in the sixth stanza, where he shows that everyone's life follows, regardless of Yeast's death.
