  • The author used lexical repetitions to emphasize a significant image; asked, baked, of, in, them, nor, from, be, milk, to, never, thy, may, there, not, my, with are repeated.

    The poet used anaphora at the beginnings of some neighboring lines. The same words how, baked, in, let, ere, nor, keep, while, spread, from, though, bring, charm, fill, that, whither, never, to, send, when, cut, must, like, on, where, there, hear are repeated.

    The literary device anadiplosis is detected in two or more neighboring lines. The word/phrase daughter connects the lines.

  • central theme;
  • idea of the verse;
  • history of its creation;

Good luck in your poetry interpretation practice!
