Read the poem “dew” and answer the question.
as dew leaves the cobweb lightly
threaded with stars,
scattering jewels on the fence
and the pasture bars;
as dawn leaves the dry grass bright
and the tangled weeds
bearing a rainbow gem
on each of their seeds;
so has your love, my lover,
fresh as the dawn,
made me a shining road
to travel on,
set every common sight
of tree or stone
delicately alight
for me alone.
which statement best supports the main theme of the poem?
the speaker her lover for showing her the world in fresh new ways.
love is a journey filled with both common and extraordinary things.
the beauty of nature is revealed through love.
without love, the world is little more than common sights.
