What shall a man remember    In days when he is old,    And Life is a dying ember,    And Fame a story told?    Power, that came to leave him?    Wealth, to the wild waves blown?    Fame, that came to deceive him?    Ah, no! Sweet Love alone!    Honour, and Wealth, and Power    May all like dreams depart,    But Love is a fadeless flower    Whose roots are in the heart.8 Mark For Review8Which choice best describes the overall structure of the text?A) Most of the first two stanzas ask related questions that are answered in part of the second and the third.B) The first stanza poses a question that is given several answers in the other stanzas.C) The first two stanzas pose questions that the final stanza answers while posing another question.D) The first and third stanzas make a claim that is supported by the second stanza.
