Question

Read the following poem and answer the

questions given below it. (5)

Life ! I know not what thou art,

But know that, thou and I must part.

And when or how, or where we met

I own to me’s secret yet.

Life ! We’ve been long together

Through pleasant and through cloudy weather

Tis hard to part when friends are dear

Perhaps it will cost a sigh, a tear;

Then steal away, give little warning,

Choose thine own time :

Say not good night; but in some better clime,

Bid me good morning.
