Read the poem given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting
the most appropriate option.
The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
The moon, like a flower,
In heaven's high bower;
With silent delight!
Sits and smiles on the night.
Farewell, green fields and happy grove,
Where flocks have took delight;
Where lambs have nibbled, silent move,
The feet of angels bright.
Unseen they pour blessing,
And joy without ceasing;
On each bud and blossom,
And each sleeping bosom.
They look in every thoughtless nest,
Where birds are cover'd warm;
They visit caves of every beast,
To keep them all from harm.
If they see any weeping,
That should have been sleeping;
They pour sleep on their head,
And sit down by their bed.
