Read the poem and answer the question

Move him into the sun

Gently its touch awoke him once,

At home, whispering of fields unsown

Always it woke him even in France

Until this morning and this snow

If anything might rouse him now

This kind old sun will know

Think how it wakes the seeds

Woke,once, the clays of a cold star

Are limbs, so dear achieved, are sides,

Full-nerved still warm too hard to stir?

Was it for this the clay grew tall?

O what made fatuous sunbeams toil

To break earth's sleep at all?

The dominant images are associated with

  • A. Death
  • B. Nature
  • C. Life
  • D. Age
