Read the first two stanzas of this poem:I saw my soul at rest upon a dayAs a bird sleeping in the nest of night,Among soft leaves that give the starlight wayTo touch its wings but not its eyes with light;So that it knew as one in visions may,And knew not as men waking, of delight.This was the measure of my soul's delight;It had no power of joy to fly by day,Nor part in the large lordship of the light;But in a secret moon-beholden wayHad all its will of dreams and pleasant night,And all the love and life that sleepers may.This excerpt is an example of what type of poem?A.BalladB.HaikuC.SonnetD.Sestina

The following text is adapted from a translation of Charles Baudelaire’s 1869 prose poem “The Cake.”I was traveling. The landscape in the midst of which I was seated was of an irresistible grandeur and sublimity. My thoughts fluttered with a lightness like that of the atmosphere; vulgar passions, such as hate and profane love, seemed to me now as far away as the clouds that floated in the gulfs beneath my feet; my soul seemed to me as vast and pure as the dome of the sky that enveloped me; the remembrance of earthly things came as faintly to my heart as the thin tinkle of the bells of unseen herds, browsing far, far away, on the slope of another mountain. Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?The speaker begins with general descriptions of the landscape and then hones in on more granular details.eliminateThe speaker initially describes the physicality of the landscape around him in concrete detail and then summarizes his impressions of it. eliminateThe speakers uses the landscape as a metaphor for his own interior thoughts, ending on an image.eliminateThe speaker criticizes his surrounding but then comes around to admitting his own faults.

Choose the poem that uses iambic meter.I have taken scales from offThe cheeks of the moon.I have made fins from bluejays' wings,I have made eyes from damsons in the shadow.The night was dark and fearful,The blast swept wailing by;A watcher, pale and tearful,Looked forth with anxious eye.

Choose the poem that uses onomatopoeia.Now sweet and clear, and faint and low,The airy tinklings come and go,Like chimings from some far-off tower,Or patterings of an April shower.Leave the lovely words unsaid;For another thought is fledFrom my dream-entangled mind.Bird of passion, unenshrined.
