Read the poem “The White Window” by James Stephens.

The moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie,
And I pretend to be asleep;
But I watch the moon as it goes by,
And it never makes a sound.

It stands and stares, and then it goes
To the house that's next to me,
Stealing on its tippy-toes,
To peep at folk asleep maybe;
And it never makes a sound.

Both stanzas work together to describe the moon as a quiet observer. Which lines from the poem best support this description?
A. “Through the window where I lie,” and “And I pretend to be asleep;”
B. “And I pretend to be asleep;” and “But I watch the moon as it goes by,”
C. “To the house that’s next to me,” and “Stealing on its tippy-toes,”
D. “To peep at folk asleep maybe;” and “And it never makes a sound.”
