The answer is C (but the lost joys is past! let your tears in sorrow roll like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin' hole)
Explanation:
"The old swimmin' hole" is a poem written by James Whitcomb Riley and probably one of his most famous works. Through this poem, the author remembers the old creek and compares those memories from his different periods in life ( from his youngest years to childhood to teenage years to finally his old adult years). He reflects on his life using the creek as a reference point. This meeting with the changed scenery of the creek leaves the author sad, bringing back the memories of joy and passed happy days that are never to come back.
