Question 22 • CARE_24_25_TX-English IV B

Which line most directly states the speaker’s feelings in "Song VII" by Rabindranath Tagore?

Answer
A
“She has no pride of dress and decoration.”
B
“their jingling would drown thy whispers.”
C
“My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight.”
D
“like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.”

Explanation

“My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight” most directly expresses the speaker’s feelings: the speaker feels humble and ashamed of their own vanity in the presence of the divine. The other lines describe the song’s lack of adornment, the noise of ornaments, or the speaker’s wish to be an instrument for music.
