As a foreign student, by writing that poem, I got "A" for my English course in the University of Texas at Austin. 9 hours English credit was the requirement for a BA degree. Among those 9 hours English credit, at least 3 hours has to be English poem.
Crow + weep + dark + Tide + bellow + north wind = lonesome.
When one was young and alone in a foreign country (no relative, no girlfriend), that was how he felt.

Just use words to describe one's feeling. When one was young, he might feel sad about
- autumn (near cold winter).
- sunset (near complete darkness).
- ...
When one gets older, he may feel happy about
- autumn (cool and comfortable).
- sunset (about time to go to bed).
I assume one may feel differently when he was young vs. when he is old.
Of course, when one writes a poem, sometimes he may pretend to be sad, or sometimes, he is truly sad. At that time, I just transferred from The University of Kansas at Lawrence to the University of Texas at Austin. I lost all my friends in Lawrence, Kansas.

I’ve told you before, Bill, when nurse comes around with the medication, take them
I take those. The problem is I take the others' medications as well. I *like* the white jacket with the long sleeves. It's like a big hug.

Careful about that big hug feeling, I heard someone describe perfing their colon with a baseball bat as it feeling “ just like a big old hug”. True story…

A very nice haiku, Kung Fu Wang. Time, nature, feeling - it's all there. I hope you can hear thrushes singing in the bushes, the whisper of the lapping tide, be caressed by a summer breeze and have someone to keep you company nowadays.
