Read the excerpt from "Song" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Then, answer the question that follows.

With the sun, and the skies, and the birds above me,

With the winds to follow and say they love me—
Who could be lonely? O no, not I!

Read "Villanelle" by Victor James Daly. Then, answer the question that follows.

We said farewell, my youth and I,
When all fair dreams were gone or going,
And Love's red lips were cold and dry.

When white blooms fell from tree-tops high,
Our Austral winter's way of snowing,
We said farewell, my youth and I.

We did not sigh, what use to sigh
When Death passed as a mower mowing,
And Love's red lips were cold and dry?

But hearing Life's stream thunder by,
That sang of old through flowers flowing,
We said farewell, my youth and I.

There was no hope in the blue sky,
No music in the low winds blowing,
And Love's red lips were cold and dry.

My hair is black as yet, then why
So sad! I know not, only knowing
We said farewell, my youth and I.

All are not buried when they die;
Dead souls there are through live eyes showing
When Love's red lips are cold and dry.

So, seeing where the dead men lie,
Out of their hearts the grave-flowers growing,
We said farewell, my youth and I,
When Love's red lips were cold and dry.

How does the form of the villanelle impact the meaning of Daly's poem?

A) Repetition of two lines throughout emphasizes the point that the speaker grew up and lost hope when their heart was broken.

B) Fourteen lines are divided into an octave about falling in love and a sestet about heartbreak.
C)There is no rhyme scheme or meter, which makes the poem seem like an informational paragraph about growing old.
D)The shift and the couplet explain that growing up is hard, but having good friends makes it much easier.

Why when we say forward our lips go forward, and when we say backward, it goes backward!?
