The wood-cutter's song - the ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
WITCHER [35]

Two elements of structure, this portion of the poem contains repeated words and starts most lines with the same word. Thus option "A" and "C" is correct.

<h3>What is the theme of The woodcutter's song?</h3>

This poem written by Walt Whitman shows the author "listening to America sing." The sound of America is that of all those workers who make it up.

The poem is quite descriptive and shows us each type of work and the sound that each worker makes while doing it.

The way this poem is written is by using repeated words and starting most lines with the same word: "the". The structure and words used in each line are the same or very similar, only the type of work changes and who does it.

Thus option "A" and "C" is correct.
