Attempt any FOUR questions. Question No. 1 is compulsory. All questions carry equal marks.
1. Attempt any FOUR of the following with reference to the context.
(i) This invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
(ii) A grief without a pang, void, dark, and drear,
A stifled, drowsy, unimpassioned grief,
Which finds no natural outlet, no relief,
In word, or sigh, or tear ---
(iii) No stir of air was there,
Not so much life as on a summer's day
Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass,
But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.
(iv) Far from the exchange of love to lie.
Unreachable inside a room
The traffic parts to let go by
Brings closer what is left to come,
(v) He had unstrapped
The heavy ledger, and my father
Was making tillage returns
In acres, roods, and perches.
(vi) 'Moon!' you cry suddenly, 'Moon! Moon!
