Question 2 of 10 • Crowley Credit Recovery English III A

Which lines from "The Weary Blues" suggest that the speaker is impressed by the musician?

Answer

Down on Lenox Avenue the other nightBy the dull pale pallor of an old gas light

With his ebony hands on each ivory keyHe made that poor piano moan with melody.

In a deep voice with a melancholy tone

Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.
