Answers
Answer:
49. The poem is ultimately concerned with virtue and the idea of virtuous soul, which will survive forever and will not give as earthly things do.
50. A red coloured rose is referred to in the second stanza as it brings to the mind the flashes of anger and bravery.
51. The poet has mostly referred to the spring season since it gives the reader a nice imaginary about the beautiful earthly things that are going to die one day.
52. In the first three stanzas, the poet convinces us that everything is going to die at the end. However, in the last stanza, the poet precisely contradicts his previous words by telling us how only a virtuous soul can live even if everything perishes.
