In what way is apostrophe used in this poem? * The speaker uses figurative language to draw a
picture in the reader's mind.
O The speaker describes the fragrant memories of the
vanished flowers.
Who are you, reader, reading my poems an
hundred years hence?
I cannot send you one single flower from this
wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold
from yonder clouds.
Open your doors and look abroad.
From your blossoming garden gather fragrant
memories of the vanished flowers of an
hundred years before.
In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy
that sang one spring morning, sending its
glad voice across an hundred years.
O The speaker speaks to a reader one hundred years
in the future.
