Read the poem “I Shall Not Care” and answer the question.

When I am dead and over me bright April

Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,

Though you should lean above me broken-hearted,

I shall not care.



I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful

When rain bends down the bough,

And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted

Than you are now.

What is the impact of starting the poem with the imagery in the first two lines?

a)It celebrates life and rebirth in nature.
b)It establishes a dark, angry tone.
c)It suggests the triumph of the speaker over her lover
d)It creates a mood of peace and calmness.
