Read these lines from the poem:
"I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight
I got from looking through a pane of glass
I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough
And held against the world of hoary grass."
The word hoary means "turned gray or white with old age." Why does the speaker use this word to describe the grass?

The speaker is dreaming and thinks the lawn is the beard of an old man.
The grass looks silvery because it is covered in morning frost.
The lawn has died, turning from green to a grayish brown.
The speaker realizes that the grass is ready for haying.
