Yeah okay See readers a two parter here for you

00:05

from this poem Nature's lady let's dip our feet in

00:09

the waters here and just kind of skim it three

00:11

years she grew in sun and shower in the nature

00:14

said a lovelier flower You're like my own myself will

00:17

too my darling be both law and involved and we've

00:19

grown huh Wow they really sling it can't think she

00:23

shall be supportive and long and ugly across the lawn

00:26

or up the mountain springs floating clouds or stage I'll

00:29

need room here something the stars of midnight shelby dear

00:34

to her And she let me tear in many secret

00:36

place Finish her face Wow Okay that was quite a

00:39

poem there Alright the questions Here we go here's the

00:41

next one for you What does the young maiden represent

00:45

in the poem All right so who's the young maiden

00:48

And when you're doing these things since you only had

00:50

two questions we probably would have been smart toe Look

00:52

ahead and see what they're asking We got number four

00:55

here What is the young maiden representing the poem And

00:57

then we got number five They're asking which combination of

01:00

words and passage creates a mood of healing so we're

01:03

thinking about the maid We're looking for the maid here

01:06

Yeah That's the girl Right So let's think about this

01:10

We got fear and secrecy love and passion beauty and

01:13

influence and recklessness and freedom What is the maiden represent

01:16

Well don't panic at the sight of stands as you

01:19

don't need a b a in poetry to navigate these

01:21

questions this poem personifies nature like makes nature like a

01:26

human being through a description of an idealized woman like

01:29

mother nature Yeah that's where that came from and how

01:32

exactly is this perfect lady described Well according to the

01:35

speaker nature she's the loveliest of flowers with an overseeing

01:39

power to kindle or restrain she's sport of her lively

01:43

but also houses the silence and the com In other

01:47

words this mythical lady represents both the beauty of nature

01:49

and its a bounding influence over all living things Good

01:53

for you You do you nature Yeah Your beauty and

01:56

your influential there So the answer here is sea and

01:59

loser of all time All right well let think about

02:01

it Fear in secrecy Really Never underestimate the power of

02:05

good old process of elimination here because all this poem

02:07

could almost lull us to sleep with his gentle rhythm

02:10

and scenic descriptions there But it certainly does not inspire

02:14

fear maybe fear of having to read another one of

02:16

these But in this case well though nature clearly feels

02:19

love for the woman and calls her a lady of

02:22

my own opponents more soothing and gentle like you know

02:26

like a bath soap that it is passionate so yet

02:29

love and passion is not there And rather than hinting

02:31

at recklessness the poem describes a sort of natural order

02:35

with many elements of nature surrounding and celebrating the lady

02:39

So recklessness and freedom No we're not head out on

02:42

the high highway looking for adventure Yeah that's What you'd 00:02:45.578 --> [endTime] find in the west will stop singing
