WAEC SSCE - Literature In English - 2017 (Objective)

Question 1 Report

I know not, Amina
When again on your brightness of smile
My eyes will rest awhile

Nor when again of your softness of voice
My ears will rest awhile

When again into the silver moonshine
You early at night or late venture
As is your wont in weather fine
Astute, awake in bed as doters may, i'll lie
Dreaming of grasping  your velvety texture

The poem evokes the senses of sight and hearing. The speaker talks about wanting to see Amina's smile and hear her soft voice again. The speaker also describes Amina venturing out into the moonlight, which creates a visual image. Additionally, the speaker talks about dreaming of touching Amina's "velvety texture," which implies a sense of touch, but this is not explicitly mentioned in the poem. Therefore, sight and hearing are the two senses that are most prominently evoked in this poem.
