What is the meaning of "make another case"?

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

"Noah says / depressives hate the spring, imbalance / between the inner and the outer world. I make / another case - being depressed, yes, but in a sense / passionately / attached to the living tree..."


Solution 1:

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.
