Reading the title I expect the poem may be about someone who is witched by someone else; the title pauses some question for example what does this wicthcraft consist on? It follows that I cannot satisfy such curiosity unless I read the poem.

Looking at the layout it's arranged in two stanzas and this underline a possible time-shift on more than one topic.

At the denotative level the poet feels himself inadeguated for his woman and when he looks her in the eyes he sees his picture burning in  her eyes.

In the second stanza the poet will leave if his woman cries because he feels himself unsuitable and inadeguate for her but he hopes that she want to take another picture of him in her heart.

At the connotative level in the first three lines the most frequentaly word is "eyes" eyes are the vehiclewith the feeling  are  carried; eyes are as a mirror in whitch everybody sees theyr imagine and in this case the poet sees his picture burning.

The therm " burning" stands for passion,  lady's passion because in her eyes the picture is burning; i understand that woman's love is a love dominated by emotions while man's one is dominated by mind because he tries to understand, he pauses same rethorical question, and in the second stanza, using his mind he will leave. But he loves the woman too because he isn't able to look up and he cries when he sees his picture burning; in addition he uses some therms to underline he doesn't feel well (kill, wicked, skill).  But why doesn't he feels well? Because it seems as if he were killing her because a good lover should  stay with his woman while he's the reason why she cries.

In the end even if he will leave , aven if nobody is happy about this situation he hopes  she wants to take a positive image of him to remember all the good things that they did together.
