head!Sweet dreams of pleasant streamsBy happy, silent, moony beams!Sweet Sleep, with soft downWeave thy brows an infant crown!Sweet Sleep, angel mild,Hover o’er my happy child!Sweet smiles, in the nightHover over my delight!Sweet smiles, mother’s smiles,All the livelong night beguiles.Sweet moans, dovelike sighs,Chase not slumber from thy eyes!Sweet moans, sweeter smiles,All the dovelike moans beguiles.Sleep, sleep, happy child!All creation slept and smiled.Sleep, sleep, happy sleep,While o’er thee thy mother weep.Sweet babe, in thy faceHoly image I can trace; Sweet babe, once like theeThy Maker lay, and wept for me:Wept for me, for thee, for all,When He was an infant small.Thou His image ever see,Heavenly face that smiles on thee!Smiles on thee, on me, on all,Who became an infant small;Infant smiles are His own smiles;Heaven and earth to peace beguiles.From Songs of ExperienceSleep, sleep, beauty bright,Dreaming in the joys of night;Sleep, sleep; in thy sleepLittle sorrows sit and weep.Sweet babe, in thy faceSoft desires I can trace,Secret joys and secret smiles,Little pretty infant wiles.As thy softest limbs I feel,Smiles as of the morning stealO’er thy cheek, and o’er thy breastWhere thy little heart doth rest.O the cunning wiles that creepIn thy little heart asleep!When thy little heart doth wake,Then the dreadful light shall break.What is implied in this second poem in the poet's use of phrases like "secret joys," "secret smiles," and "cunning wiles"?A) The child lacks imagination.B) The child is silly.C) The child has grown up.D) The child has lost its innocence.

Answer: alternative D, since the word "secret" expresses that the child knows she isn't supposed to show the way she' been acting, probably because she knows it's unacceptable. This way, we can see she's lost the innocence from being a child.
