''Cognitive Poetics'', p. 34.〕〔Gill, Jo. ''Women's Poetry'', p. 189.〕 The poem is sometimes studied by schoolchildren in the United Kingdom as part of the AQA syllabus for GCSE English. ==Description== The poem's subtitle, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", was a 1961 hit by Elvis Presley. Its opening line, "In the convent, y'all", establishes its speaker in the southern United States through its use of colloquial language.〔Childs, Tony.
