Explanation:

The poem mentions "distance" and "time" but emphasizes that "Love's steadfast flame still keeps its constant light." This shows love's strength despite these factors. The other options are not supported: "Love is fleeting" contradicts the poem; there's no mention of nature's power over emotions or silence being better than speaking.

Answer:

Love remains strong despite distance and the passing of time.
