Read this excerpt from “The World” by Christina Rossetti
By day she wooes me, soft, exceeding fair;
But all night as the moon so changeth she;
Loathsome and foul with hideous leprosy
And subtle serpents gliding in her hair.
By day she wooes me to the outer air
Ripe fruits sweet flowers and full satiety
But thro' the night a beast she grins at me
A very monster void of love and prayer
By day she stands a lie
Which statement best describes the theme?
Love escapes us because of the change from day to night.
Nighttime is monstrous but it is better than daytime.
Beauty can be alluring
