The poem below is by the american poet carl sandburg. he refers in the poem to five battlefields where many died (austerlitz, waterloo, gettysburg, ypres, and verdun).  grasspile the bodies high at austerlitz and waterloo.  shovel them under and let me work—  i am the grass; i cover all.  and pile them high at gettysburgand pile them high at ypres and verdun.  shovel them under and let me work.  two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:   what place is this?   where are we now?   i am the grass.  let me work. the poet implies that? a. time passes too slowly.  b. wars scar the land forever.  c. even bloody battlefields can be cleansed by time and nature.

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element? i wandered lonely as a cloudby william wordsworthi wandered lonely as a cloudthat floats on high o'er vales and hills,when all at once i saw a crowd,a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees,fluttering and dancing in the breeze.continuous as the stars that shineand twinkle on the milky way.they stretched in never-ending linealong the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw i at a glance,tossing their heads in sprightly dance.the waves beside them danced; but theyout-did the sparkling waves in glee: a poet could not but be gay.in such a jocund company: i gazed and gazed—but little thoughtwhat wealth the show to me had brought: for oft, when on my couch i liein vacant or in pensive mood,they flash upon that inward eyewhich is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills,and dances with the daffodils.
