Poetry: "The Lake of the Dismal Swamp" by Thomas Moore

Question 3 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Which line from the poem “The Lake of the Dismal Swamp” by Thomas Moore is the best example of imagery?

Answer
A
“His path was rugged and sore”
B
“Long and loving our life shall be,”
C
"This lover and maid so true"
D
“And the boat return’d no more.”

Explanation

Imagery uses descriptive language that helps readers picture or sense something. “His path was rugged and sore” suggests rough, difficult ground and evokes a physical sensation, so it is the clearest example of imagery among these lines. “And the boat return’d no more” tells what happened but gives less sensory detail.
