(Solved)
Read the following poem and answer the questions that follows.
Crows on the wing!
What grace as they swing,
Rising and diving,
Like a fish in the billow,
In the willowy air,
Or soft as feathers
From broken pillows
Crows on the wing;
What a symphony sings
The wind in their wings
As they swoop and they rise
To the sea: to the skies:
As they float in the light
Air, like fragments of night.
