Read "Together" by Carrie Williams Clifford. Then, answer the question that follows.

O, come, Love, let us take a walk,
Down the Way-of-Life together;
Storms may come, but what care we,
If be fair or foul the weather.

When the sky overhead is blue,
Balmy, scented winds will after
Us, adown the valley blow
Haunting echoes of our laughter.

When Life's storms upon us beat
Crushing us with fury, after
All is done, there'll ringing come
Mocking echoes of our laughter.

So we'll walk the Way-of-Life,
You and I, Love, both together,
Storm or sunshine, happy we
If be foul or fair the weather.

Which line from the poem appeals to the reader's sense of smell?

Balmy, scented winds will after us

Mocking echoes of our laughter

When the sky overhead is blue

When life's storms upon us beat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

My goal out-distances the utmost star,

Yet is encompassed in my inmost Soul;

I am my goal—my quest, to know myself.

To chart and compass this unfathomed sea,

Myself must plumb the boundless universe.

My Soul contains all thought, all mystery,

All wisdom of the Great Infinite Mind:

This is to discover, I must voyage far,

At last to find it in my pulsing heart.
