Question

what time of year can be seen in the speaker of this poem based on lines 1-4

Answer 1

Answer:

Autumn

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare. Lines 1-4 of the sonnet read:

That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In these lines, the author talks about autumn. We can tell based on several clues that the author gives us. The author tells us that this is the season with yellow leaves. He also says that during this season, "few hang," presumably from trees. Finally, he also tells us that it is cold during this season.

Answer 2

Answer:

The time of year that can be seen in the speaker of this poem based on lines 1-4 is late autumn

Explanation:

The first 4 lines in sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare describes the late autumn going to winter as he uses some keywords such as "yellow leaves", "shake against the cold," and "ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang" these lines describe the color of the plants as the season makes the leaves go dry and yellow, orange and brown, as well as give the image of the winter coming as the birds have left.
