Question

II) Read the poem given below and answer the following questions: (10 marks)

I heard a thousand blended notes

While in a grove I sat reclined,

In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts

Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did Nature link

The human soul through me ran;

And much it grieved my heart to think

What man has made of man?

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,

The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;

And ’t is my faith that every flower

Enjoys the air it breathes;

The birds around me hopped and played,

Their thoughts I cannot measure: -

But the least motion which they made

It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

The budding twigs spread out their fan,

To catch the breezy air;

And I must think, do all I can,

That there was pleasure there.

If this belief from heaven be sent,

If such be Nature’s holy plan,

Have I not reason to lament

What man has made of man?​
