The Sun Has Long Been Set by William Wordsworth The sun has long been set, The stars are out by twos and threes, The little birds are piping yet Among the bushes and trees; There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes, And a far-off wind that rushes, And a sound of water that gushes, And the cuckoo's sovereign cry Fills all the hollow of the sky. Who would "go parading" In London, "and masquerading," On such a night of June With that beautiful soft half-moon, And all these innocent blisses? On such a night as this is!

A. The Winter

B. The Fall

The poet is describing the Summer time of the year.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

William Wordsworth poem ‘The Sun Has Long Been Set’ is a beautiful poem which describes the serene nature and depicts romanticism.

From details mentioned by the poet in the poem, we can figure out that it is the summer time of the year. “There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes” the bird cuckoo can be seen only during the summer season, it is the only time when we get to hear cuckoos.

Apart from this, the poet have described the month of June and the city London; it is during the month of June when summer starts in London.
