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; you're, you, i, and, to are repeated.
The poet used anaphora at the beginnings of some neighboring lines. The same word i is repeated.
The author used the same words no, if at the beginnings of some neighboring stanzas. The figure of speech is a kind of anaphora.
The poet repeated the same words eyes, tomorrow, pursue at the end of some neighboring stanzas. The poetic device is a kind of epiphora.
