Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the poem "At a Window" written by Carl Sandburg.

Besides, you forget to say that Part A states that the theme of the poem is "Sometimes life's worst hardships are preferable to the pain that can be experienced from love."

Answer:

B "Give me your shabbiest, weariest hunger! / But leave me a little love" ( Lines7-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

In "At a Window" we can see that the speaker is not afraid to face the worst pains and sorrows in the universe, the only pain he could not bear is the loneliness of living without someone who loves him and keeps him company. For this reason, the speaker asks the gods to allow him to suffer, to feel hungry, to feel pain and to go through the most petty and harsh situations, but that he does not live without love and without someone who takes away the loneliness of his life.
