"The Waking"--> Analysis

This poem is structured so that the following two lines are repeated: "I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.", "I learn by going where I have to go." I'm not sure what the meaning of this poem is, so I'm not sure if I can write a complete and accurate paragraph analysis connecting the meaning of the poem to it's structure. I think that the sentence "I wake to sleep and take my waking slow" means that the speaker of this poem is living his life only to sleep at the end of the day. He or she isn't living life to enjoy it; they are living life because they have to. I think that they are saying that because this line seems to show us that the speaker is living in a dream-like state. The second repeated line, "I learn by going where I have to go" really struck me because of the words "have to go." If we connect the meaning of the previous repeated line and this line, then we can infer that the person lives life and goes through steps of living because he has to. These two lines are repeated throughout the poem usually at the end or beginning of each stanza. This, for me, provided a more dreamy state to the poem. The way the poem ended with the second repeating line made it seem like the author wanted th reader to "go" too.
