Because my love is come to me.

Read the following lines from "The Garden of Proserpine" by Algernon Swinburne. Then answer the question below.
There go the loves that wither [dry up],  
 The old loves with wearier wings;
And all dead years draw thither [there]   And disastrous things;
Dead dreams of days forsaken, Blind buds that snows have shaken, Wild leaves that winds have taken,  
Red strays of ruined springs. ... And love, grown faint and fretful
With lips but half regretful Sighs, and with eyes forgetful   Weeps that no loves endure [last].
QUESTION: In the first two lines, what images does the speaker use to describe love?
Loves that go away and have exhausted wings
Loves that grow both wobbly and worrisome
Loves that die
Loves whose is both young and old
