The poem presents itself as a conversation...

  • A.among three persons
  • B.in a crowd
  • C.among a group of people
  • D.between two persons

Answer: D

The poem is a conversation between two persons.

It runs in question and answer: each stanza opens with a question beginning 'O what ...' or 'O why ...', and the next lines answer it, closing with 'dear'. The same two voices alternate throughout, one anxious and asking, the other reassuring. The last line, 'Why are you kneeling ?', is addressed to the one who questioned.

Nothing suggests a third speaker, a crowd or a larger group.
