Yes, I believe she would be welcoming. Even though the last part of the poem sounds like a curse ("May the young man be sad-minded with hard heart-thoughts"), it is still a statement of the speaker's enduring love for him. She suffers, but imagines that he suffers too, in the exile or wherever he is, and remembers their happy days with sorrow. Her depression has elements of embitteredness, but her love for him is not disputable.

Visiting an American poet in Normandy, Smith finds herself in the beach where the landing took place. "She showed me Juno Beach, the cliffs in which the snipers crouched, the maze-like hedgerows that proved so lethal, and finally the American cemetery." This event makes her want to investigate her father's experience in World War II.
