A Is The Answer. I Am Sure.
The poet, Yeats, is describing the daily routing of an old mother. He presents his ideas in a poem describing how she completes those activities. He is descring the old woman as hardworking and tired, and he presents these ideas in the last line, where it says that she must work because she is old and the seed of the fire (a lantern most likely representing her life or her day) gets feeble and cold (it ends). In essence, the author describes the old woman as harworking and tired, and at the end of the day, the "fire," or the Sun, grows feeble and cold, signifying that the day is ending and the cycle will begin again tomorrow.

Explanation:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of tales told by the pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The tales would be told by each pilgrim to and from the pilgrimage place of Canterbury.
"The Wife of Bath's Tale" is also part of that collection. It tells the story of how a knight had to marry an ugly old woman to get himself pardoned from his ra pe charges. Though reluctant to marry such woman, he accepted the offer of the old lady, saved the knight and got married with him. But even then, the knight couldn't accept her. So, she told him that gentility is not passed from generation to generation, nor can it be achieved or bought. Rather, it is got through performing good deeds and living a virtuous way of life.
