Question 3 of 24 1 Point
Read the following excerpt from "Summer Night, Riverside by Sara Teasdale:
In the wild soft summer darkness
How many and many a night we two together
Sat in the park and watched the Hudson
Wearing her lights like golden spangles
Glinting on black satin.
The rail along the curving pathway
Was low in a happy place to let us cross,
And down the hill a tree that dripped with bloom
Sheltered us
While your kisses and the flowers,
Falling, falling,
Tangled my hair
The frail white stars moved slowly over the sky.
Which statement best explains how the poet's use of figurative language
conveys the poem's tone?
