Question

Read the lines from "84" by Rabindranath Tagore. Let none go back home, brothers, this morning, let none go to work Let us take the blue sky by storm and plunder space as we run. Which feature of a lyric poem does the repetition of the word let best illustrate? the musical quality the single speaker the speaker’s emotions the long length

Answer 1

Answer:

The musical quality.

Explanation:

A lyric poem is a poem that expresses strong feelings of the speaker or the narrator or any of the characters or even about the issue or theme the poem is talking about. Written in the first-person narrative voice, these poems try to convey a single thought or idea and are much shorter than epic narratives.

Rabindranath Tagore's poem "The Gardener: 84" presents a call for idle enjoyment of the morning sun/ atmosphere. The repetition of the word "let" signifies the musical quality of the lines of the poem where the narrator/ speaker urges the others to not "go back home [...or] go to work". Instead, he wants them to "take the blue sky by storm and plunder space as we run". The presence of song elements such as rhythm, tone, meter, and repetition helps enhance the effects of the poem.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
