Question

Read the excerpt from “In the Greenest of Our Valleys,” by Edgar Allan Poe.

But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
Assailed the monarch's high estate;
(Ah, let us mourn, for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him, desolate!)
And, round about his home, the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.

A. Both warn of the power of nature.
B. Both describe unexpected misfortune.
C. Both present violent revenge.
