Sympathy paul laurence dunbar i know what the caged bird feels, wings! when the sun is bright on the upland slopes; when the wind stirs soft through the springing grass, and the river flows like a stream of glass; when the first bird sings and the first bud opes, 5 and the faint perfume from its chalice steals-- i know what the caged bird feels! i know why the caged bird beats his wing till its blood is red on the cruel bars; for he must fly back to his perch and cling 10 when he fain would be on the bough a-swing; and a pain still throbs in the old, old scars and they press again with a keener sting-- i know why he beats his wing! i know why the caged bird sings, ah me, 15 when his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, - when he beats his bars and he would be free; it is not a carol of joy or glee, but a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core, but a plea, that upward to heaven he flings-- 20 i know why the caged bird sings! sympathy paul laurence dunbar i know what the caged bird feels, unfortunately! when the sun shines on the slopes of the highlands; when the wind flutters softly through the spring grass, and the river flows like a stream of glass; when the first bird sings and the first opes sprout, 5 and the faint perfume of his chalice steals-- i know what the caged bird feels! i know why the caged bird strikes its wing until the blood is red in the cruel bars; because it is necessary to fly back to your hanger and cling 10 when he would willingly be on the branch of a swing; and a pain still beats in the old, old scars and i pulse again with a sharper sting-- i know why the wing is hit! i know why the caged bird sings, i ah, 15 when his wing is hit and his chest pain, - when he sticks to his bars and he would be free; it is not a song of joy or rejoicing, however, a prayer that is sent from the deep core of your heart, however, a motive, which raises to heaven that flings-- 20 i know why the caged bird sings!

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
