The most important hint that his poem was speaking in poetic language is the reference to the lily—the lily on thy brow
and then the rose
the lily indicates the knight is still a young man —but fast wither….means dying untimely in youth
the rose indicates in the language of poetry, the heart and love or in this case, a broken heart
Of course ~Wordsworth —as his name would suggest, requires an entire code book
