h) Comment on the following extract from the poem "Predawn Lights" by Lesia Ukrainka.

"Beneath the black wings of the dark night nestling,

The tired — out people were resting.

Lights out and the silence lies deep,

Now everyone's buried in sleep,

To night's suzeraine acquiescing.

Asleep or not, they to dark forces surrender,

And happy the one with dreams tender!

But sweet dreams do not come to me...

Thick darkness all round like the sea,

All sleep as if death held them prisoner".
