"Together" A poem by Carrie Williams Clifford

O, come, Love, let us take a walk,

If be fair or foul the weather.
When the sky overhead is blue,
Balmy, scented winds will after
Us, adown the valley blow
Haunting echoes of our laughter.

To address the question about how the poet’s use of sensory language in lines 5-8 helps develop the idea of harmony with nature, the two correct answers are:
1. **The description “scented winds” reflects a connection to the environment.**
2. **The imagery of “blue sky” conveys a peaceful setting.**
These choices illustrate how the sensory details enhance the connection between the speaker and their natural surroundings, portraying a sense of unity and harmony.
For the second question about how the speaker establishes the theme of companionship, the speaker establishes the theme by inviting "Love" to join them on a walk, emphasizing togetherness and shared experiences. This is reinforced by the notion that regardless of the challenges they may face (such as storms), their bond and shared journey create a sense of comfort and connection amidst the unpredictability of life.
