The poet admires the fountain and he feels thrilled to see it. Which word in the last stanza expresses the poet's admiration?

  • A.Glorious
  • B.Cheerful
  • C.Fresh
  • D.Upward

Answer: A

The word is Glorious.

The last stanza opens 'Glorious fountain!', an exclamation of praise: glorious means splendid and deserving of admiration, so it shows how the poet feels about the fountain.

Cheerful, fresh and upward describe the qualities the poet wishes for his own heart ('Fresh, cheerful, constant, / Upward, like thee'); they are what he wants to be, not the word with which he admires the fountain.
