Match each excerpt to the mood it evokes or the image it creates. And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white
(from “The First Snowfall” by James Russel Lowell)
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
(from “The First Snowfall” by James Russel Lowell)
Enwrapp’d in tempest and a night of storms;
Astonish’d ocean feels the wild uproar,
(from “To His Excellency General Washington” by Phillis Wheatley)
From splendid domes of first degree
Where ladies meet, to sip their tea
(from “To a New England Poet” by Philip Freneau)
