Question

A line about this action ends every stanza of a poem in which the speaker asks, “What matters yon unheeding throng?” and repeats “and all is well.” The speaker of another poem describes the product of this action as it “makes its way in glory / To de very gates of God!” and tells “Miss Lucy” to quit doing this action. Malindy does this action in a poem by an author who wrote about (-5[1])a creature doing this action with “a prayer… from his heart’s deep core” (10[1])in another poem. A creature who does this action (-5[1])as “a plea, that upward to Heaven (10[1])he flings,” (-5[1])is (-5[1])described in the Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem (10[3]-5[1])“Sympathy,” (10[4]-5[1])whose refrain (10[2])of “I know” (10[2]-5[1])was used to title a book (10[2])about growing up (10[1])in Stamps, (10[1])Arkansas. (10[2])For 10 (10[1])points, name this action done by a “caged (10[2])bird” (10[1])in the (10[1])title (10[1])of a (10[1])Maya (10[2])Angelou (10[1])memoir. (10[1])■END■ (10[4])
