Question about the poem, A Woman Cleaning Lentils by the Armenian poet Zahrad..? NEED HELP?

The rhythm and the words are repetitive, and they form a monotonous picture of a life devoid of anything but work. This repetitiveness shows the monotony of the job of cleaning lentils, the message in the words is re-emphasized by the form used in the poem, especially as the end mirrors the beginning - not only monotonous but never varying and never ending.
