Read the following passage and answer the questions.

What is the life if full of care,
we have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as the sheep or cows.
No time to see when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can,
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Why according to the poet is it a 'poor life'?

Because we have no time to stand and stare

The correct answer is Option (1) - Because we have no time to stand and stare

The poet expresses that life becomes "poor" if it is filled with constant worries and responsibilities, leaving no time to pause, observe, and appreciate the beauty of nature and life. The poem repeatedly emphasizes how people are too busy to enjoy simple moments, like watching squirrels hide nuts, streams shining in daylight, or Beauty’s graceful movements.

The last two lines clearly reinforce this idea:
"A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare."

Thus, the best answer is: "Because we have no time to stand and stare."
