Rhyme, Rhythm, and Visualizing in a Yeats Poem

Question 9 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Read this excerpt from “The Song of Wandering Aengus” by William Butler Yeats.I will find out where she has gone,And kiss her lips and take her hands;And walk among long dappled grass,And pluck till time and times are doneWhich words does the poet include to help readers visualize the scene?

Answer
A
"will find out"
B
"she has gone"
C
"long dappled grass"
D
"times are done"

Explanation

“Long dappled grass” helps readers picture what the setting looks like. The descriptive words “long” and “dappled” create a visual image of grass with patches of light and shade. The other phrases describe an action, a person’s movement, or the passage of time rather than a visible detail of the scene.
