It can also be used as a rhetorical device; a word, line or sentence repeated to make its significance in the whole text more emphatic.
From the poem above, the poet uses repetition of the word "If" to emphasizes the need for calm.
"If you can wait and not be tired by waiting," from line 5 shows that the author believes there is a reward if we meet a certain requirement.
"<span>There was no deceiving himself: something terrible, new, and more important than anything before in his life, was taking place within him of which he alone was aware. Those about him did not understand or would not understand it, but thought everything in the world was going on as usual."
-This excerpt shows that only he alone knew that there was change going on in the place, one that is not good, & no one else seems to notice.
