Question

Read the poem

"Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love has gone and left me and the days are all alke
Eat I must, and sleep I will-and would that night were herel
But ahl-to be awake and hear the slow hours strikel
Would that it were day again! - -with twilight neart
Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do
This or that or what you will is all the same to me
But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through -
There's little use in anything as far as I can see.
Love has gone and left me, and the neighbors knock and
borrow
And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse, -
And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
There's this little street and this little house.
