Question

Wired Faculty App

Far far from gusty waves these children’s faces.

Like rootless weeds, the hair torn round their pallor.

The tall girl with her weighed-down head.

The paper seeming boy, with rat’s eyes.

The stunted unlucky heir of twisted bones,

Reciting a father’s gnarled disease,

his lesson, from his desk.

The poet of these lines is:

Kamala Das

Stepher Spender

Pablo Neruda

John Keats

Solution

B.

Stepher Spender
