The Last Question
New love, new love, where are you to lead me?
All along a narrow way that marks a crooked line.
How are you to slake me, and how are you to feed me?
With bitter yellow berries, and a sharp new wine.
New love, new love, shall I be forsaken?
One shall go a-wandering, and one of us must sigh.
Sweet it is to slumber, but how shall we awaken ---
Whose will be the broken heart, when dawn comes by?

This is quite an interesting poem especially because the highly connotative diction. Let me explain....
Title: The reader wants to know more about what the last question really is and wishes to read more in order to find out what the speaker is referring to. When breaking up the title, it seems interesting because "last" implies that there was some action or situation that made it be the final, ultimate question. Question implies uncertainty and confusion. It seems it was used in order for the speaker to possibly solve the problem? Or solve it?
Paraphrase: New love, new love, where are you going to take me now? You'll lead me through a narrow curve that'll be a crooked and wavy curve, How are you to ditch me and let me go? How are you to feed me? With bitter yellow berries and wine. New love, new love, should I just let it go? One shall go wondering and one should just sigh. Slumbering is sweet but now it's time to wake up, who is going to be the one heartbroken, when dawn comes by?
Connotations:
"Love": The speaker refers to a genuine love at the beginning. This word generally implies someone who is faithful and loyal. Who cares about the other and take care of the other.
"Lead": This is a highly negatively connotative word because it implies that her "love" does not truely love her but is leashing her on a string and leading her on. Possibly implying he doesnt love her?
"Narrow": Implies that her lover is blinding her and leading her down a very specific path and she can not see anything but the path on which her lover leads her through.
"Crooked": Implies that there is a deformity in the path in which she walks through. Something isn't right about it. It also implies that it is possibly impacting her negatively because she is gearing off on the wrong path.
"Slake": Implies ditching, betrayal, abandoning
"Feed": Can imply that her "love" keeps her coming back for more or that she relies too much on him.
"Bitter"/"Sharp": Refers to her love's actions and words. Not very nice.
"Wine": When someone consumes too much alchol, it causes drunkness...which causes distortion of reality.
"Sigh": Implies sadness/depression.
"Dawn": The beginning of light, prevailing light.
Attitude: The speaker feels pretty accepting towards the end to prevail over her lover's influence of her.
Shift: Towards the beginning, she describes the influence of her lover and how negatively he impacts her. At the end, she shifts her attitude to accepting letting him go.
Theme: .....Love has a very powerful affect on people and can take over and influence all your actions.
Title: The last question...is whether or not you want the feeling of love to have THAT much influence on you.
