"Well, Mr. Flood, we have the harvest moon
Again, and we may not have many more;
The bird is on the wing, the poet says,
And you and I have said it here before.
Drink to the bird."
How does the word choice in these lines affect the meaning of the poem?
(I'm stuck on either B. or D.)
A. It suggests that Mr. Flood has a great admiration for nature.
B. It emphasizes that Flood feels he doesn't have many more years left to live.
C. It suggests that Flood has a pet bird as his companion.
D. It reveals that Mr. Flood has a drinking problem.
