Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun
To give it my loving friends to keep!
Nought man could do, I have left undone:
And you see my harvest, what I reap
This very day, now a year is run.
(i) Who is the speaker here? Name the poet. 1
(ii) What is the speaker’s tone in this stanza? How does he console himself at the
end of the poem? 2
(iii) How has the situation changed for him in comparison to the first two
stanzas? 2
(iv) Do you think whatever happens to the speaker towards the end of the poem
is justified? What does it show about the people?
