My answer is D) The years gone by
The following is my reasoning:
This poem has a theme of losing a loved one and the process of aging and in the lines "Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled / And paced upon the mountains overhead / and hid his face amid a crowd of stars." The narrator wrote this poem for his wife to read in her old age, assuming he wrote this for her before his own death (this statement is supported by the first stanza of the poem).
Barbara Jordan was the first African American elected to the Texas Senate while Althea Gibson was the first Black athlete to cross the color line of international tennis. So they were both the first for something. Hope this helped!
Ralf, Bruno’s father, was a soldier in the Great War (World War I), and is promoted to Commandant in the German Army by Hitler during World War II. He moves the family to Auschwitz, where he is in charge of the camp. Father is strict and intimidating, but expresses tenderness towards his family. He eventually consents to letting the family move back to Berlin, though he remains at Auschwitz to continue his duties for Hitler. A year after Bruno disappears, he figures out what happened to his son, and is destroyed by the realization. When the Allied soldiers come to take him away for punishment, Father submits to their demands, as he no longer has the will to live.
