Read the lines from "Song VII" by Rabindranath Tagore. My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight.
O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet.

Which words show that the lyric poem is written from the perspective of a single speaker?

A. “in” and “thy”
B. “my” and “I”
C. “poet’s” and “sight”
D. “vanity” and “feet”

B. “my” and “I”

Explanation:

Words “my” and “I” show us that author writes about himself and his own experience from the first person, as these two pronounce are used when writing in the first person.

The first person is singular. It reflects a person that talks about himself or herself alone, without talking about anyone else. If the writer used pronounces “we”, “us”, “they”, or even “you” when referring to more than one person, we could see he refers to more than one person.

Because he uses “my” and “I” we can conclude it is the single speaker sharing his experience.
