Question

Drag each tile to the correct box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Meaning, weight, or significance - "In which the burthen of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the weary weight Of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:"  (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

Reward- "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such loss, I would believe, / Abundant recompence"  (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

A silly or foolish person- "Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!"  (from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

A small stream- "nor yet beside the rill,  Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;"  (from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)

The rhythm of a piece of poetry or music- "Where was heard the mingled measure  From the fountain and the caves."  (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Explanation:

"Burthen" in the poem of William Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey" means something that is "meaningful, significance or have weight". It refers to the burden of the mystery, the heavy and significant weight of the mystery.

"Recompence" also suggest or signify a reward, a representational fulfillment or payback for the service rendered. Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey" used this word to refer to the 'repayment' of loss felt by the speaker.

"Loon" is a word for a sill or foolish person. So, when Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" used the word, he is referring to the stupidity and foolishness of the man.

"Rill" denotes a small stream of water body that the poet Thomas Gray used in his "Elegy".

"Measure" is used to denote a rhythm of a piece of poetry or music in "Kubla Khan". Coleridge used this word to talk about the heavenly sound of music from the mountains and caves.

Answer 2

Burthen - meaning, weight, significance

Recompense-reward

Loon-a silly or foolish person

Rill-a small stream

Measure-the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

The words that have been given in the poem have meanings like rill means a small stream, a loon person is one who is silly or a foolish person. Recompense is the reward given for the compensation of the loss.

Burthen is the archaic form of "burden" which means "weight/significance/or meaning". All these words add meaning to the lines of the poem and help the readers understand the meaning of the poems by measuring those.
