Question

Read the stanzas from "Night."

under at an unfaltering pace,
under till the rinds break,
back till each bent leaf
is parted from its stalk;

under at a grave pace,
under till the leaves
are bent back
till they drop upon earth,
back till they are all broken

Why does the poet repeat the word "under" in these stanzas?

Answer 1

To give empasis on the word and the appeal to the feelings of the readers.
