Answer:

The passage can be identified as a lyric poem because

C) describes a single speaker’s feelings.

Explanation:

A lyric poem is a short, song-like poem written with the purpose of expressing the author's emotions or feelings. It is usually written in first person, and focuses on an emotional experience of a single speaker. It originated in Greece, written to be accompanied by an instrument called lyre, similar to a harp. It is from the instrument's name that we derived the word "lyric".

The passage we are analyzing here, "Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too," expresses the speaker's feeling, and that is what reveals it is a lyric poem.
