Question

Read the following lines and answer the given questions. (4)

City Autumn

The air breathes frost. A thin wind beats

Old dust and papers down grey streets

And blows brown leaves with curled-up edges

At frightened sparrows on window ledges.

A snowflake falls like an errant feather.

A vagabond draws his cloak together,

And an old man totters past with a cane

Wondering if he'll see spring again.

- Joseph Moncure March
