Answer:
D The light shines and then disappears.
Explanation:
In the poem "On the Shore" by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, the metaphorical meaning of line 9 is 'the light shines and then disappears.' The poet says that though the light emitted from the lighthouse can be seen from afar, it only lasts for a while.
Through "A moment of bloom, and then it dies ", she says that the light at first shines and blooms like a rose with full vibrant and energy. However, it soon fades away slowly by dawn when the morning light rises from the horizon.
This is why the poet says that light of the lighthouse is short-lived and only comes with its full glory during the night time.
