Read the following poem carefully. (8 marks)
NIGHTThe Sun descending in the west,The evening star does shine;“The birds are silent in their nest,And I must seek for mine."The Moon, like a flower,In heaven's high bower,With silent delightSits and smiles on the night.Farewell, green fields and happy groves,Where lambs have nibbled, silent movesThe feet of angels bright;Unseen they pour blessing,And joy without ceasing,On each bud' and blossom,And each sleeping bosom.“They look in every thoughtless nest,Where birds are covered warm;They visit caves of every beast,To keep them all from harm."If they see any weepingThat should have been sleepingThey pour sleep on their head,And sit down by their bed.
