Read the final verse.

From “The Wild Swans at Coole”

But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake’s edge or pool
Delight men’s eyes when I awake some day
To find they have flown away?


The speaker says he will “awake some day / To find they have flown away?” What might this flight represent for him?


A.
loss of the swans


B.
loss of youth


C.
loss of the seasons


D.
loss of hope
