UNSEEN POETRY
Read the poem and answer the question
My heart was in fearful flight
Pursued by Cupid, arrow poised
Waiting for my flight's end
When I'd turn about
Or I'd fall supine
My fleeing heart to pierce
Enslave or enthrall and ravish hopeless
So, I'm pining and pining away
For you high up there have perched
Out of reach of my now yearning
Which was why my heart'd been fleeing
From cupid's poised arrow
The lines that provide evidence for what the poem is about are _____
The lines that provide evidence for this interpretation are 7 and 8: "Enslave or enthral and ravish hopeless/ So I'm pining and pining away." These lines clearly show the theme of unrequited love. The love is one-sided and unappreciated. The persona's love is greeted by hopelessness )ravish hopelessness) and he/she is "enslaved", "pining and pining away".
