Question:

Read the poem and answer the following question
Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

 According to the speaker, what will it be too late to do after she passes away?

Options:

Counsel and pray

Look at Dante Gabriel Rossetti's paintings

The words "too late" never appear in this poem

Correct Answer:

Counsel and pray

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 1 - Counsel and pray

In the poem, the speaker mentions, "It will be late to counsel then or pray," indicating that after their passing, there will no longer be an opportunity for advice or prayer regarding their relationship or future. The other options do not align with the content of the poem.
