Section C

[15 marks]

Answer the following questions based on the poem 'Nature'.

Nature

We have neither Summer nor Winter

Neither Autumn nor Spring

We have instead the days

When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields -

Magnificently.

The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofsand there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies

and trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.

Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees

and the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.

But best of all there are the days when the mango and logwood blossom

When bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey

When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air

When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars

And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.

Hugh Doston Carberry
