Answer: A. The farm was such a paradise that even animals that are enemies got along.

The poem "Fern Hill" by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas is the last poem in his collection Deaths and Entrances.

The poem presents the idyllic experiences Thomas had in his aunt's house, Fernhill, in Carmarthenshire in the 1920s. This excerpt shows how beloved the farm was to Thomas, and it conveys a joyful feeling through phrases such as "happy as the heart was long" and "the sun born over and over."
