Question

What is the meaning of or how could it be paraphrased the sentence "I make another case" in Louise Glück's Matins?

Rephrasing:
"I make another case..."

I'd express a different view,
I'd express a different opinion,

"being depressed, yes, but in a sense passionately attached to the living tree..."

I may be depressive, but I still love the living tree.
