Mood of the speaker:
There are many three dots in the poem. Readers should think of the author's idea together with the pensive speaker.
The author used lexical repetitions to emphasize a significant image; life is repeated.
The poet repeated the same word same at the end of some neighboring stanzas. The poetic device is a kind of epiphora.
