Explanation:

Jane Wilde wrote this poem in the 1800's, based on a Celtic legend. Her focus is on the forbidden love of Tristan And Isolde. ("None, unless the saints above, Knew the secret of their love", and " their hands would twine unseen"). Their love seems to feed on the rush of the secrecy they keep to avoid King Mark of Cornwall from finding out about it.

Also, his exclamation in the second part, when crying, it can be noticed that he implies to be upset with someone, in this case Janie. So more than hating her family, his feelings on her rejection due to his social status wins over. Just to add this fragment comes from the book The Assertive Woman in Zora Neale Hurston's Fiction, Folklore, and Drama by Pearlie Mae Fisher Peter, in which she relates the struggle of African American society and how wrong assumptions on social classes caused Logan and Janie relationship not to be acceptable at that time.
