Which lines from the poem best support the inspired tone?

O "Of my mind so weary and sick and wild, / Of my heart too sad to sing."

"My cot was down by a cypress grove, / And I sat by my window the whole night

long."

"And I thought of myself so sad and lone, And my life's cold winter that knew

no spring.

"In a strain to soothe his bleeding heart. / And he smiled at the sound of my

voice and lyre.

Answer D. is correct.

Explanation:
