Show answer & explanation

Explanation

Per the poem's imagery: hair as harp, pillows as cloud, breeze as harpist, cheeks as rose.

Note: Passage I is Stephen Spender's 'Daybreak', which is copyrighted and not reproduced. At dawn the speaker watches his beloved asleep: her hair 'a harp' played by 'the hand of a breeze', her cheek a rose on cloud-like pillows, her profile like 'the carved face' of an angel. She wakes, speaks his name, and says 'my dream has come true', and their two dreams flow together.
