Ligature: In medicine, a ligature is a device, similar to a tourniquet, usually of thread or string, tied around a limb, blood vessel or similar to restrict blood flow. A ligature can be used for tumor strangulation, carried out before removal. The process of making ligatures is called "ligation".

Suffuse: * cause to spread or flush or flood through, over, or across; "The sky was suffused with a warm pink color" * to become overspread as with a fluid, a colour, a gleam of light; "His whole frame suffused with a cold dew"

Like many of the poems in the Second Annex this one seems to deal with life and death. He uses how nature goes through a natural cycle of life and death with the changes from spring to winter as a metaphor for what goes on in our lives. This is to say that even though we may die there will always be new life so that the annual play continues.
