read the poem he reverie of poor susan.\
at the corner of wood street, when daylight appears,
hangs a thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years:
poor susan has passed by the spot, and has heard
in the silence of morning the song of the bird.
tis a note of enchantment; what ails her? she sees
a mountain ascending, a vision of trees;
bright volumes of vapour through lothbury glide,
and a river flows on through the vale of cheapside.
green pastures she views in the midst of the dale,
down which she so often has tripped with her pail;
and a single small cottage, a nest like a doves,
the one only dwelling on earth that she loves.
she looks, and her heart is in heaven: but they fade,
the mist and the river, the hill and the shade:
the stream will not flow, and the hill will not rise,
and the colours have all passed away from her eyes!
william wordsworth, he reverie of poor susan\
how does the poet develop the theme in this poem?
by revealing how the thrushs familiar song no longer consoles susan, the
poet illustrates that time diminishes the power of natures beauty.
by illustrating how susans longing for her rural childhood conflicts with her
wants and needs as an adult, the poet shows that growing up is bittersweet.
by showing how susans visions of the past fulfill her despite her low income,
the poet reinforces the message that money cannot buy happiness.
by contrasting susans vivid memories of her rural home to the city, the poet
conveys that memories have the power to bring both joy and sorrow.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The poem shows Susan has vivid memories of her rural home (like green pastures, a cottage) which she sees in her mind. But then these memories fade. This contrast between the vivid memories (bringing joy as her heart is in heaven when she sees them) and their fading (sorrow as they pass away) conveys that memories have the power to bring both joy and sorrow. The first option is wrong as the thrush's song still seems to trigger her memories (not that it no longer consoles). The second option about growing - up being bittersweet is not the main theme. The third option about money not buying happiness is not the focus.
# Answer:
By contrasting Susan’s vivid memories of her rural home to the city, the poet conveys that memories have the power to bring both joy and sorrow.
