Answer: D.The poem uses imagery to show the speaker’s love.
The poem uses imagery to show the speaker's love. It compares the speaker's depth of feeling with the feelings that other lovers have had for the loved woman. The author juxtaposes the actions of previous lovers with those that the speaker is willing to do, and with each comparison, he proves that his love is greater than those that have come before. The imagery not only serves as a method for this comparison, but also as a mechanism to encourage loving feelings on the recipient.
