DIRECTIONS: Read the poems carefully and answer the questions that follow. POEM - 1 Up into the cherry tree Who should climb but little me? I held the trunk with both my hands And looked abroad in foreign lands. I saw the next door garden lie, Adorned with flowers, before my eye, And many pleasant places more That I had never seen before. I saw the dimpling river pass And be the sky's blue looking-glass; The dusty roads go up and down With people tramping in to town. If I could find a higher tree Farther and farther I should see, To where the grown-up river slips Into the sea among the ships, To where the roads on either hand Lead onward into fairy land, Where all the children dine at five, And all the playthings come alive. Why the poet looks for a higher tree?

A) to see more distant lands

B) to enjoy climbing

C) to hide from his parents

D) to see the stars
