Answer:
Fern Hill is a poem published by the Welsh writer Dylan Thomas in 1945 as a part of Horizon Magazine. Later, the piece was included in the same author’s poem’s recompilation Deaths and Entrances. On the other hand, “Nothing gold can stay” is another poem published by the American poet Robert Frost in 1923 as a part of The Yale Review; later the same text was published in New Hampshire collection.
Related to both of the two verses that we have: "Can I see a falling tear, / And not feel my sorrows share?" we can say that the correct option is the second one: “It connects the stanzas and shows how the speaker feels about reaching out to those who grieve” because the meaning of the words TEAR and SORROWS and how they share meanings related to an emotional state. Thus, it is important to the authors to express how they feel and how sometimes it is hard to not find comfort and help in relatives.
The third option is not applicable due to, according to the meanings that we have already said, the author cannot be feeling powerful, on the contrary, the mood of the verses is more related to sadness and powerless. The fourth option is also not correct due to it express the contrary feelings that the excerpt expresses. Finally, the fifth option is not correct since Blake isn’t one of the authors involved in the creation of the stanzas.
