Which excerpt from "How I Learned English" helps the reader imagine the sound of the scene in the poem?

It was in an
empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.
