What do you think this poem is about?

Stay With Me

Stay just one more day with me
Don`t fly away, sail the sea
Stay and soothe my trembling heart
Stay that we may never part

Do not wander far away
Stay with me just one more day
Lay your head upon my arm
Stay with me and keep me warm

Stay until the sun doth set
Stay so close that I won`t fret
You and I will watch the moon
Do not leave me yet, so soon

Stay, my love, please stay awhile
Stay with me that I may smile
Please don`t go and leave me here
Sad without you, stay my dear
