In the last stanza, the lover warns his beloved against the future dangers she may bring upon him if she continues to fear a future without him. He urges her “divining heart” to avoid predicting him harm..... as it is possible that “Destiny may take thy part” and fulfill her fears by leading him into real dangers.
