Is this poem an allegory that represents something else in life ?

since i have set my lips to your full cup, my sweet,
since i my pallid face between your hands have laid,
since i have known your soul, and all the bloom of it,
and all the perfume rare, now buried in the shade;

since it was given to me to hear on happy while,
the words wherein your heart spoke all its mysteries,
since i have seen you weep, and since i have seen you smile,
your lips upon my lips, and your eyes upon my eyes;

since i have known above my forehead glance and gleam,
a ray, a single ray, of your star, veiled always,
since i have felt the fall, upon my lifetime's stream,
of one rose petal plucked from the roses of your days;

i now am bold to say to the swift changing hours,
pass, pass upon your way, for i grow never old,
fleet to the dark abysm with all your fading flowers,
one rose that none may pluck, within my heart i hold.

your flying wings may smite, but they can never spill
the cup fulfilled of love, from which my lips are wet;
my heart has far more fire than you can frost to chill,
my soul more love than you can make my soul forget.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
