Write a formalist analysis “what lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why” 

Write a formalist analysis “what lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why” 
using 3-4 essential elements of the play to discuss it (see list below).  Some elements that you might consider: form (meter, rhyme scheme, etc)., voice, symbolism, style, tone, setting, irony, imagistic language, denotation and connotation. 
You should have 3-4 major points, so you could consider three different poetic devices and their relationship to the theme of the play. You MUST use three outside sources of literary criticism from our library’s electronic database. Try JSTOR or Literature Online. Electronic sources acceptable, but only one website. Avoid Wikipedia, ask.com, blogs, study guides of any kind, or any other open sources. See resources for this week for how to document a poem from an anthology in correct MLA format.
“What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and
why”
BY EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
