Some day, when trees have shed their leaves

Question

And against the morning’s white
The shivering birds beneath the eaves
Have sheltered for the night,
We’ll turn our faces southward, love,
Toward the summer isle
Where bamboos spire the shafted grove
And wide-mouthed orchids smile.

Which words does the poet include to help the reader visualize the scene?
1.“Some day”
2.“against the morning’s white”
3.“We’ll turn our faces”
4.“Toward the summer isle”

Answer 1

The words that help the reader visualize the scene are:

2. “against the morning’s white” – This phrase helps create a visual image of a bright, clear morning, contrasting with the coldness of the season.
3. “Toward the summer isle” – This evokes an image of a lush, tropical destination, contributing to the visualization of warmth and beauty.

While "Some day" and "We’ll turn our faces" provide context and action, they do not directly contribute to the visual imagery as much as the other two options.
