In this sonnet Poe is complaining of the weight of science upon his feelings, the last six lines try to express this weight and the last one is merely a nostalgic whisper. The line that reflects best the theme is the second one "Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes", in wich he begins to complain of science's stare upon him.

The line that reflects the theme that science constantly changes our understanding of life is "Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art! Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes."
