Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The natural world and children walking through leaves

In the second stanza, the poet compares his beloved's voice to different sounds that exist in the natural world like that of the river gushing or a Woodcock's "watery call" and then compares it to the sound of children dragging their feet through the yellow leaves. In this context, option A is the best answer.
