I love to write

Day and night

What would my heart do

But cry, sigh, and be blue

If I could not write

Paraphrase:

The (writer) loves to write! The writer would be very sad if they weren't able to write.

Comparison: While the Poem rhymes and used descriptive words to tell how sad the writer would be if they couldn't write (cry, sigh, be blue) the paraphrase just states clearly and simply the interpretation of the stanza.
