She Passed by My Window

I think the following lines, and the chorus are the key to the song:

Have you time for my company? No, I said. I have none to spare

You gotta sanctify my love You gotta sanctify my love You gotta sanctify my love I ain't no lover-boy

It seems to be about a woman who wishes to be in a sexual relationship with him (hence the references to spring and fruits that "soon wither on the ground", which I interpret as meaning that a relationship without love soon withers), but he associates this person with winter, "brittle snow", with things cold and dead; and he 'ain't no lover-boy', he doesn't have time for flings. Love for him is something religious, holy, to be set apart, and he wishes to keep it free from the sin of having this person in his company.

When she slaps the snow off her glove and moves on without a sound, it seems as if her reaction to his cool response is to brush his coldness aside, just like the snow. She appears unbothered, but her silence says otherwise.

I think that the glove also gives away both of their feelings, because the glove is a symbol/token of affection and love. She drops it near his window, but gets snow all over it.
