thee and me

The best answer to the question: Which phrase best illustrates the musical quality of the lyric poem? "Ornaments would", "our union", "thee and me", or "come between", would be: "Thee and me".

Explanation:

Rabindranath Tagore was a pretty productive poet, whose most characteristic quality was the use of lyrics and applied them to his poems. This characteristics gave the poems a music-like quality, highly expressive of the emotions, and feelings, of the speaker, rather than the facts, or events, that were taking place. In "Song VII", all the qualities of lyric poetry are present: it is a short text, filled with a sense of emotion and music-like quality that further extends the sense of the poem being almost like a song. But the phrase that best illustrates this music-like quality in Song VII is "thee and me" because of the rhyming quality of the two words, and the vowel sounds of both words being identical in kind. This makes them highly expressive, and when they are spoken, to sound almost like music, rather than describing an event, or a fact.
