Question

Which lines does the poet include to show the long history of the tree?

A. 'Twas my forefather's hand / That placed it near his cot:
B. Woodman, forbear thy stroke! / Cut not its earthbound ties!
C. Here shall the wild bird sing, / And still thy branches bend.
D. Old tree, the storm still brave! / And, woodman, leave the spot!


(help please)

Answer 1

I think that it is (D) because it says " old tree " ( saying the tree is old ) " the storm still brave " ( meaning that no matter the weather strong or mild it has not effected the tree ) and then " woodman, leave the spot" ( saying that woodman or hunters leave the tree alone because of how old it is they leave it alone )

this is just a guess so hope it helps
