The Song of Wandering Aengus by William Butler Yeats

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Read these lines from "The Song of Wandering Aengus."

And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

How does Aengus's desire to pluck the apples affect the meaning in the poem?

It suggests the youthful passion Aengus feels about his renewed life.

It reflects Aengus's disappointment in wandering for so many years.

It represents Aengus's desire to capture the beauty he saw when he was young.

It reflects the frustration Aengus feels about being idle. 100 points

The third stanza jumps way forward in time. Aengus is now an old man, and he's spent his whole life looking for the "glimmering girl" who appeared to him that day when he was out fishing. Even though he's old, he's determined to find out where the girl has gone. He imagines that, when he finally finds her, he'll kiss her and hold her hands. He also says that he and she will walk among the grass, and together they'll pluck the "silver apples of the moon" and the "golden apples of the sun" until the end of time
