Use the poem to answer the question.
Longing
by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Away

Away, away I would go if I could,
Perhaps to an overgrown sun-dapple wood;
Away, away I would fly in a flash,
If I thought peace awaited under a towering ash.

Away, away you would wish me go too,
If only the pain of my staying still was known to you;
Away, away you would bid me farewell,
And on my wellbeing, you’d never again dwell.

The poem has two short stanzas and the words "Away, away" are said over and over. That repetition makes it clear the speaker really, really wants to leave. The short lines and rhymes make the feeling sound urgent and simple. From the structure I can tell the poem is all about longing and wishing for peace.
