Question 11

A)
Use the excerpt from “The West Wind” by John Masefield to answer the question.
“The West Wind” by John Masefield
It’s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’ cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.
For it comes from the west lands, the old brown hills.
And April’s in the west wind, and daffodils.
It’s a fine land, the west land, for hearts as tired as mine.
Apple orchards blossom there, and the air’s like wine.
There is cool green grass there, where men may lie at rest,

And the thrushes are in song there, fluting from the nest.
“Will ye not come home brother? Ye have been long away,
It’s April, and blossom time, and white is the may;
And bright is the sun brother, and warm is the rain, --
Will ye not come home, brother, home to us again?
