Loving Elizabeth's Sonnets!!!!

I have just read a sonnet by Elizabeth Browning. I found it rather sad. The women of the poem seems to want the pronounced affection of a man, but he seems to think to say "I love you" is crazy "a cuckoo song, as thou dost treat it". The writer wants the man to say he loves her not just show her love. I have read some of the other sonnets by Elizabeth Browning. She was a big romantic. Most of her sonnets in the Sonnets from the Portugese seem to be about love. I have to admit, I am a romatic at heart and I found her sonnets very refreshing!
