Question

Which line most directly states the speaker’s feelings in "Song VII" by Rabindranath Tagore?

“She has no pride of dress and decoration.”
“their jingling would drown thy whispers.”
“My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight.”
“like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.”

Answer 1

“My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight.”

Reason: it directly names the speaker’s emotional state (vanity dying in shame), whereas the other lines are descriptive or metaphorical.
