Question

ead these lines from the poem again:

And I wish in my sorrow I could strip to the soul,
And dive off in my grave like the old swimmin'–hole.

These lines from the poem illustrate that the speaker

wants to prevent his approaching death
has become sad, but finds comfort in old age
needs to visit the swimming hole again
has grown so sad that death would be a relief
