    This will help after you study it on the site.

    A piece of wood promises to reveal himself to us. (Yep – you got it. The speaker of this poem is a piece of wood.) He tells us he's made a long sea-journey in order to deliver a message to "you." "You" turns out to be a lady whose exiled lord (he lives far across the sea) is now begging her to reunite with him. The messenger assures the lady of the lord's continued love and reminds her of the vows the two spoke to one another during better times.
