‘The House on the Hill’ by Edwin Arlington Robinsondescribes the fleeting nature of memories and the haunting qualities of the past. The poem begins with the speaker describing an old, shut-up house that is still and empty. There is no one living there or populating the rooms, and there is nothing the speaker (or anyone he is directing the lines to...
‘The House on the Hill‘ is a villanelle, a rigid 19-line form known for its intricate repetition and circularity.

Stanza Three
The line “There is nothing more to say” appears again in the third stanza. This time it is connected to the present and those who are (or aren’t) still living. Not only is the past in the past, but anyone who might have provided the speaker with some physical connection to his memories is gone as well.
