(Question 11 from test- 7.7D)

Abigail, Olivia, and Maya, based on your previous answer, can you find the evidence from the text that supports your answer? Let's see who gets it right!

• "Lightsome, laughter-loving June,

  Days that swoon

  in beds of flowers"

• "Twilights dipped in rose perfume,

  Nights of gloom

  washed clear by showers.

  And a faint night-wind sighs"

• "Under skies

  Still, silver-starred.

  And a shouting from the brooks,

  Where in nooks

  Late violets grow.

  June, ah, June, to lie and dream"

• "And freed from care--

  Hear, as when a lad I heard

  How the bird

  Sings, high in air"
