               Music

               By Ralph Waldo Emerson













               The poem encompasses all the sounds in the world and the poem enables the reader to
               listen to the voices which he / she used to ignore before. The poet looks at
               music as a stress reliever, something that brings joy and positivity. This is
               because he finds the sound of music to be pleasing even in the darkest and

               meanest things.

               OBJECTIVE:

               Pick up any five rhyming words used in the poem and write them in the space
               provided below.
