"…Refused me the parting kiss,
Saying we should be engaged before that;
And just with a distant clasp of the hand
She bade me good-night, as I brought her home
From the skating rink or the revival."

This one instance between the poet and the girl paints a picture of what is going on between the two of them. the "distant clasp of the hand" and him bringing her home from the skating rink OR the revival emphasizes how she didn’t just refuse a kiss, but she is refusing him altogether.

"No sooner did my departing footsteps die away
Than Lucius Atherton,
(So I learned when Aner went to Peoria)
Stole in at her window, or took her riding…"

Lucius didn’t really take out Aner as soon as the poet left. He’s trying to say that in his absence Lucius was going out with Aner. When the poet says that Lucius "stole in her window" he is really saying that Aner’s affections were stolen from him.

"The shock of it made me settle down,
And I put all the money I got from my father’s estate
Into the canning factory…"

The poet puts his "father’s" money into a "canning factory". He doesn’t even have his own money to invest. And he invests it in a canning factory of all things. Here the poet uses his financial endeavor as a way to convey just how sad his life is.

That should be enough figurative language for ya.
