The poet uses themes of seclusion, solitude, love, and interconnectedness throughout "A Blessing." The latter refers to a broader relationship between humanity and environment. This idea is reinforced by images of isolation in the first stanza and of being buried alive in the third. In addition, Lovey-Dovey alludes to two other concepts: peace and harmony. These values are exemplified by the owl, which is also associated with wisdom and insight. Finally, the interdependence of species relates back to the idea of environmental responsibility. Animals suffer due to human actions so that humans can enjoy comfort; therefore, we need to make efforts to resolve environmental issues. These elements combine to create a poem that praises God's creation while at the same time calling for responsible stewardship of it.
