The sun has long been set, The stars are out by twos and threes, The little birds are piping yet Among the bushes and trees; There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes, And a far-off wind that rushes, And a sound of water that gushes, And the cuckoo's sovereign cry Fills all the hollow of the sky. Who would "go parading" In London, "and masquerading," On such a night of June With that beautiful soft half-moon, And all these innocent blisses? On such a night as this is!

What time of day is this poet describing?
An unknown time of day

A time during the evening

A time during the morning

A time during the afternoon

Respuesta :

Hello! :)
A time during the evening is the best answer.
The poem mentions "On such a night of June with that beautiful soft half- moon," 

Answer: The right answer is the B) A time during the evening.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there are other references to the time of the day, such as the presence of the stars (they were "out by twos and threes") and the moon. There are no references to people, just to images and sounds from nature (birds, water, wind), which can be explained by the fact that the author of this poem was a Romantic author, William Wordsworth (1770-1850). There is no need for parading or masquerading on a night like this.
