Final answer:
The poems do not explicitly identify what passes away, but the themes suggest that the 'Stars' and 'Moon' may pass, tears are temporary, while 'Love' endures and transcends.The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The excerpts provided do not explicitly state what will pass away in the poem 'Lullaby'; however, by exploring the themes and examples given across these excerpts, we can begin to draw conclusions. One of the common themes is the temporary nature of life and momentary experiences. In the first excerpt, there is mention of the speaker loving 'all things that are dying', suggesting an acceptance of the impermanence of life and possibly the stars as they too, in a cosmic sense, are not eternal.
In another excerpt, relating to the theme of mortality, 'The grave is at the door' implies that death is inevitable for all living beings. The symbolism of night in various excerpts, such as 'Night of the large few stars' and 'White Moon', might indicate that natural elements like stars and the moon are subject to passing, as they disappear with the coming of dawn. However, the sentiment of love and its enduring quality is emphasized in other sections, like the opinion that 'Love is better than Life'. Therefore, 'Love's red lips' implies that love may endure beyond physical existence.
The last notations about the resilience of love, especially in the metaphor of the 'red rose' reacting to music and the persistence of music itself, hint that love may indeed transcend the impermanence of earthly things. Tears, as a representation of transient emotions, are suggested to pass away in a call for letting go of pain and embracing beauty in the moment. Hence, the implied answer to the student's question would be that the tears and possibly 'Stars' and 'Moon' will pass away, but love endures.
