Answer:

Correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Henry Wordsworth Longfellow ( 1807-1882) wrote this poem to represent the circle of life, and also the eternity of the nature. He wrote this poem very close to his death in 1879. The death and birth are part of the life circle and they represented by the words “rises and falls”. Longfellow always compares the limit time of the human life with the eternity of the nature.
