The first strophes makes it seem that the singer is singing of a person that is a "free spirit". This independent person grew very close too the singer but he left him after being with him for a very short period of time.
The verses "When will you come again so I can watch you play in the pouring rain" on the other hand gives us the hint that the bird Snowy White is singing about is actually a child. Why isn't the child with the singer anymore? Has he given it away? Was it kidnapped? Did it die? The third seems to be the most likely because the bird left the singer and not the other way round. And it left free willingly.
What does the pouring rain symbolise? It usually symbolises sadness but wouldn't the singer be happy if he could see the child again?
