Based on this excerpt from "Porphyra's Lover" by Robert Browning, what does the setting contribute to this poem?
The rain set early in to-night,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake
I listened with heart t to break
When glided in Porphyria, straight
She shut the cold out and the storm,
And kneeled and made the cheerless grate
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm
Which done, she rose, and from her form
Withdrew the dripping doak and shawl
And laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let the damp hair fall
And, last, she sat down by my side
And called me. When no voice replied,
She put my arm about her waist
And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hat displaced,
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,
And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me-she
Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour,
To set its struggling passion free
From pride, and vainer tes dissever
And give herself to me for ever
But passion sometimes would prevail
Nor could to-night's gay feast restrain
A sudden thought of one so pale
For love of her, and all in vain
