Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions that follow.
I had a dove, and the sweet dove died,
And I have thought it died of grieving;
O, what could it grieve for? Its feet were tied
With a silken thread of my own hand's weaving:
Sweet little red feet! Why would you die?
Why would you leave me, sweet bird! Why?
You liv'd alone in the forest-tree,
Why, pretty thing, could you not live with me?
I kiss'd you oft, and gave you white peas;
Why not live sweetly as in the green trees?
