Answer:
The correct answer is spring.
Explanation:
Sympathy is a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872 – 1906) in which the author compares the experience of being locked up in a prison cell to being locked in a birdcage.
In the first stanza of the poem, we notice some poetic descriptions of a landscape:
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...
These descriptions are pointing to the fact that it is spring because everything is bright, green, soft and parts of the poem where he mentions springing grass and first bird sings represent the best evidence of the spring.
